this poem reminds me of my long lost love sushila number 2.

put hot water bottles her side of the bed and still went to renew her transport pass......... well penned

He couldn't risk my blight of disbelief though sure that very soon he'd hear her key scrape in the rusted lock and end his grief. He knew she'd just popped out to get the tea.

The emotions and events are so poignantly expressed. It tugs at the heart. Beautiful poem dear poet. I loved it.

This is a great poem, I think, in its poignancy, wry humor and wisdom, and the craft that packages it. The last stanza both follows and surprises with what precedes it—it’s a kicker, a flourishing finish, an exclamation point to the whole. -GK

Tony Harrison is hands down the greatest poet England has produced in the last 50 years. Even better than G. Hill.

It's the most terrible thing ever when someone you love is gone... Beautiful poem.

Sometimes people build shrines to the memories of those they loved and lost..A headstone or an urn are too cold but personal possessions of the loved one are closely heartfelt as a reminder..Life may end when we physically die but memories remain alive for as long as someone lives and loves..

Just the same! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Skillfully crafted a veiled truth just waiting to be unveiled by our time. Fantastic the expression to make us believe the fact abstract but unavoidable. Beautiful.
