Line Gauthier Poet Haibun

Listen to poem:

I Know You're There

I have my ritual. Before turning off the lights. I clear my head of the day. It’s good to rest. My bed faces the moon out my window and your photo. I talk to you; you don’t answer but I know you hear me. Wherever you are. I know you’re there. Somewhere.
                     
                                                
                                                                   in the dark of night
                                                                   memories are all I have    
                                                                   with you gone
