Come closer to me in waiting something just for you,
That hasn’t touched your lips yet a Lacuna O so blue
In the gap, a hollow, a missing space, in a pool or pit,
There's a place that's sunken left wide open barely fit
What Beauty in a Lake--our absence once held water,
Mystery in a form you take, an island sculpted potter
I see it in an outline, should be, but isn't yet, remains,
A missing line in a manuscript pause in a word pains
Almost remember, forget, lost, an impression lingers,
Still, press me in a forward, Interlacing in our fingers
Never fully present, what's felt in a partial vanishing,
In echoes of a ghost, skipping over the water, ringing
A shape that still remembers being filled 1 more time,
I feel in you, invited, silence traces, holy kisses rhyme
Lacunae in your loss rooms still waiting to be entered,
Rest gentle spaces with you slow to soft was wintered

Come closer to me in waiting something just for you,
That hasn’t touched your lips yet a Lacuna O so blue
In the gap, a hollow, a missing space, in a pool or pit,
There's a place that's sunken left wide open barely fit
What Beauty in a Lake--our absence once held water,
Mystery in a form you take, an island sculpted potter
I see it in an outline, should be, but isn't yet, remains,
A missing line in a manuscript pause in a word pains
Almost remember, forget, lost, an impression lingers,
Still, press me in a forward, Interlacing in our fingers
Never fully present, what's felt in a partial vanishing,
In echoes of a ghost, skipping over the water, ringing
A shape that still remembers being filled 1 more time,
I feel in you, invited, silence traces, holy kisses rhyme
Lacunae in your loss rooms still waiting to be entered,
Rest gentle spaces with you slow to soft was wintered
I remember passing over a mountain to a lacuna with the clearest blue that just slid by me, you take my breath away, what a view, that I thought, take a picture, but you slipped away, on the legs of a lake, let me touch you--what peace--"stay soft" I hear you say ...
