A light is on me
Radiant solitude
Illuminates me
I stand in absence
Of my shadow
Whole but
Incomplete
I exist, solid
Tactile reality
And longing
A part of me
Is missing
I can’t touch it
But, I feel its
Vacancy
I am incomplete
And still—
I dream in outlines
Of your touch,
A warmth I’ve never
Held, yet carry
Everywhere.
Across the distance
You are both presence
And ache, and
A pulse inside desire,
A voice in my silence.
I miss you—
Perfect stranger,
As if the missing
Was always you,
And I have only now
Learned its name
Nothing to see here
