vacuum

Staring from my window

On the fourteenth floor of Hyatt

I dislike the suns enthusiasm

As it shines bright

Heralding the equinox



I had a restless night

Not for the comfortable room

But at the thought

Of missing you



I am so used to sleeping

Next to you

My hands and their

Palpable perceptions

Of you



I enjoy attending

Conferences, in distant places

But for the vacuum

Which you and the children

Fill so well



I smell the back of my hand

And the lingering

Voyage dā€™ Hermes

You sprinkled

As I left yesterday evening
