It falls on the same as my peer at work.
So I can't ever quite forget.
As she cuts her cake, year after year,
I wonder about you.
You invited us over one day, many years ago, after we were both married
You with your first kid.
I recognized Sri Devi, the first teddy bear I had bought you,
sitting plump on your pillow.
In the display cupboard, two small puppy looked at me, as if to ask, remember us?
I left your house in a daze
Knowing, nothing of yours
Remains in mine,
with only one question on my mind.
Who is the more affected?
The one who cannot let go
Or the one who can't bear to keep a thing?
