1 thought on “after his death”
I really love this haiku. I think it speaks to a lot of us, listening to those small remembrances we have of a person when that person was still alive. What a treasure to have some voicemails to listen back to. I know I could relate to this very well. Not so much from voicemails but from other things like short videos or a note scribbled on an envelope. This is one of my favorite haiku this year.
