She's gone

by Keith D Allison

In the dog days of summer
the heat hangs on
my head hangs low
the heart so cold

The rope runs from the house to the barn
in the bitter winds of January do blow
and one can get lost in the blinding snow
the heart barely breathes

no one
to hold

May warm memories beat that winter cold.

Keith, as the presence of those we love is rather like a double life, I think absence, in its anxious longing and sense of vacancy, is like a foretaste of death. It is painful. Poignant, and stark. Thanks.
