Walking, talking, riverside
   with two who cared, and a sweet young lady chihuahua running nearby
hearing my brother’s tones and inflections in my own voice
   with two who cared, and a sweet young lady chihuahua running nearby
few directed conversations on our shared loss
   with two who cared, and a sweet young lady chihuahua running
as though he was one of the three
   as though he was one of the one
