A comforting object, a box of tissues, a timer, maybe even a quote that reminds you why you started. It’s not about perfection, it's about presence.

A hand holds open a book displaying the poem "Schrödinger's Call" by Maudie Bryant, published in Naugatuck River Review. The poem describes receiving a voicemail about a father’s passing, blending the moment of ordinary work tasks with the shattering weight of loss. A white label across the page reads: “New publication in Naugatuck River Review.” Poem Text: Schrödinger’s Call The first, I let ring. Just one more thing, I thought, just one more click before the world cracked open. I was still smoothing out the creases of a new day, the office barely awake— the computer’s hum a soft rhythm, my fingers clicking in time to a task I was sure would be done before the second round of rings. But the second came fast, I let the voicemail unfold in the silence, the words coming slow, like they had to work up the courage. “Call back,” it said, and I knew without knowing that something had shifted— something I’d never recover. I dialed the number with the same fingers that had just typed another email, clicked another box. Then, the words. “Your father passed.” I sat still as if the world had paused with me, as if the space between those words had been stretched so thin that I could feel my father both here and not here at the same time. The task, still waiting, the screen before me suddenly distant, a room I once knew— but didn’t belong in anymore.
Between presence and absence, memory and silence. Grateful to see "Schrodinger's Call" in Naugatuck River Review. It's a poem written in the wake of my father's passing. 💞
