your best friend

your best
friend dies, so does your
second best friend,
three
childhood friends
pass on,
and then
it's Lynnie,
and Debbie.
Mary K. in Miami.
Edwina in
Great Falls.
your mother tops the list.
you look
at your phone
and see their faces,
their numbers.
the glow
of them is still there.
you wish that all of them
could be reached.
you wish
that all them were fine.
