winter night
I cuddle with the sweater
     that still holds your scent —
the rest of your clothes
in Goodwill boxes

Author Notes
(for our fanstory friends in other countries) In America, Goodwill is a nonprofit organization that collects donations and uses the money to benefit destitute people. Sometimes, when people die, their clothes are donated to Goodwill.

GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. === source = writers digest ===source=wikipedia

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
