curling up alone
in the imprint where you slept
tears no longer flow
curling up alone
with a good book
no substitute
in the imprint where you slept
I still feel your warmth
on cold nights
tears no longer flow
memories keep me company
life moves forward

Very nicely done!
BTW, do you remember Jane R’s post about tanka? She recommended a book called “Tangled Hair”. My copy finally arrived and – for some reason – this troiku makes me think that you’d really enjoy it. Some are quite sensual, but there is an aching throughout — a similar ache to what you’ve captured here.
