widow
andrea
the
woman
walks
into
the
restaurant
i
know
her
order
already
i
watch
as
she
sits
in
her
usual
chair
at
her
usual
table
and
glances
oddly
toward
the
empty
chair
at
her
side
she
pulls
it
out
his
ghost
sits
there
her
eyes
wash
over
me
measuring
my
grief
for
her
i
know
the
order
is
cut
in
half
just
as
her
heart
was
only
two
short
months
ago
when
he
left
her
side
so
suddenly
my
attempts
at
conversation
with
her
leave
me
fumbling
and
uncomfortable
i
can't
replace
his
words
but
i
push
in
his
chair

moonshine
i
was
a
widow
last
night
in
a
dream
,
bending
over
a
clear
running
stream
