Your absence seems finite as though
You must turn up somewhere sooner
Or later, like a missing glove
Or a parachute blown awry.
In this absence I see fragments
Of you, motes and filaments, in
Places I look. It’s always you
Or your absence I see, colour
Or colourlessness, everything
Or nothing. Last weekend I watched
Boys launch model rockets in a
Field, saw a metaphor in the
Thin arc of the little paper
Cone that seemed to fizz its way to
The heavens in a split second.
I turned to you as though you were
Present: We could do that. You were
Not there so I could not tell you
More: This was my school. Here is the
Spot where I stretched out in June sun
Before class, a hat over my
Face. Here is the track. I was a
Sprinter. Here is faint graffiti,
There my initials, traceable.
Here are absences to match yours.
When the boys go I may find you.
