Absence

I miss her, and it’s a little not fair, dare

I say, to those in history who have had to

Lose, miss, listless days for their hearts

When soil and sea, balks at whatever

Technology or piece of mind

Promises to fill the spaces they create

Ever how short the time I may have had,

Justify the wrong to be without

Ways of saying things you won’t

Note, until you are displaced

Laced with a numbing salve of

Heart, hit lust solitude.

Absence,

A song of longing,

Of quiet gentle cords

Poured out slow along a cello

Covering skin in a nuke warm shower

Waiting for one to dry you off.
