Newly Found

by Bradd Howard

I regret I lost you-
my voice
somewhere along the line
down sewer drains or between the cushions of the sofa.
Confusion in the cracks.

in searching they always say you will find what is lost in the last place you look.
so I checked the last place I would ever think to look-
inside myself.
masking itself as breath
it had been there all along.
Now all I had to do was breathe.

It all starts somewhere. Great scene.

Some never go looking, and indeed, they miss out on the great pleasure of finding. Enjoyed finding this. Thanks.

Awesome piece of writing-especially with that last line. PERFECT! :0

Nice find. I especially liked "confusion in the cracks."
