tension forms an absence
like clay
clawed
from the ground
tension forms an absence
like a mold
tossed aside
empty
the casting broken
on the floor
tension forms an absence
like a hole
in the air
where you
used to breathe
tension forms an absence
in my self
from the life
which pulses
without me
tension forms an absence
from the love
around us all
