Things That Have Changed Since You Died: (Laura Kasischke)

It's been a long day, so the talk about today's poem (by Laura Kasischke) will be short.

It's a sweet, straight-forward, sentimental poem that makes me sigh deeply as I reach the end.

I like the examples she uses to describe the changes. It's very rooted in time/place. I know approximately when N lives and when You (who has died) lived. I wonder if this means that poem will not be one to read 15 years from now. The sentiment will remain, but no one may care (or know) the stories of the details.

Favorite line: "We/ send each other mail without stamps."
