After Chicken and Rice for Dinner, by Susan Azar Porterfield

Posted on October 8, 2019

Even so,

I’m homesick

for the stranger,

 

don’t think unborn child

or younger self,

not death.

 

nothing

that can be named,

though I’d like

 

to believe

something would be

there,

 

a light, a gesture,

the moment

I passed it by.
