poem

 Absence

When I’m not there 

We feel the weight of total absence

And when I am fully here 

I feel the emptiness of everything left behind.


What is missing creates space 

For something real to appear.

But no one else shows up here

In this place where I’ve finally arrived.


You can only truly lose 

The things you’ve once had.

How else would you ever know 

What you need to go out and find?
