...and put it in your pocket...

End of summer cleaning
finds me in the coat closet,
rummaging through the old,
straightening and throwing out.
I find
a smooth stone or worn seashell
in every pocket
that I reach in.
All reminders
of walks with you.
I feel the softness
of your hand
as I slide my thumb
over the cool surface
of a flat, round rock.
I look forward to winter -
to rain,  
to cold,
to wind
and more walks
with you.
