moins de 46

A black-and-white photograph of a woman sitting and talking with her two daughters, 14 (left) and 9 (middle), on a bench at a train station. She is at the right facing her daughters and gesturing with her left hand as if to emphasize a point.

you didn’t make it to 46.

often i wondered
what you might think of me
once i was no longer of this earth,
or if you would even
think of me at all.
i never would have guessed
that you
would go first.


NOTE: I've decided to abandon my Substack account because of that platform's decision to create a partnership with right-winger Bari Weiss's organziation. I will migrate what few posts I've published there to this site. This post was originally published on 27 May 2024. I wish I'd re-published it on the 19th of December, the second anniversary of her death.
