TODAY.
Abs_nce (e)
missing letters like missing
words,
like missing faces,
we don’t talk the way we used to,
and I am momentarily saddened by old songs,
and a dying keyboard,
as I retype the word,
“today”
like a fish gasping for air,
but still no water rushes in,
no swift tide,
to carry my heart
away.
