There’s an ‘absence’in the air As if a puffof sky has skipped a beat,swallowed a rainbow. If memory is allthat’s left then ‘moment’ matters. Sunlight on your hairyour human grace that filled our hearts; there’s ‘absence’in the world today: this spinning globeof blue has broken you: I used to wonder‘why’? That mystery’snow clear we hold the keyas infinity draws near yet I didn’t hearyou going.
