Lacuna
Wherefore?
It’s as though my Earth must tremble
Chilled
When I go to call your name.
When I go to answer.
Known to me,
This is.
When I miss you,
I become frightful,
Because I miss you.
Hadst I been afar from your presence
One moment
Too long
Too sour
I endure,
But I cease to breathe.
Yet my breath is long and wispy.
Like the air of night
An autumn night
Let the leaves not fall
Let the leaves not fall
When I go to call your name.
Though I have been afar
My heart is so stricken with you
And I
Am near.
