the absence is in the letting go
in the space between words
it is sinew connecting
tissue and bone
that slips
just slips away from itself
release
shoulders slacken
lower
space between shoulder blades
softens
it is a moment of bliss
it is a moment only
twisting muscles
snap back into place
tighten and curl
leaving fire
and a ball of flesh
leaving a memory
just below the surface
leaving sadness or
fear or
loneliness
leaving echo
of bliss
space
there are spaces
deep dark places storing up a lifetime
of moments filtered through
self hatred, pity, fear
inside out
these spaces and deep dark places
open passing through light
self love and forgiveness
smiling
