The Presence of Absence

Sometimes gaining and losing are more intimately related than we like to think. And some things cannot be moved, or owned. [….] Some things we have only as long as they remain lost, some things are not lost only so long as they are distant.

meeting in the dark, fleeting
my gaze is full of you
it felt like a raging ocean
someday i'll meet ya there
a picture that belonged to no one
or a slow dance with death
somewhere absent
