When you’re gone
even
for a moment,
I lose part
of me.
A catch in
my chest
whispers your
absence to
my heart,
slowing it--
until
your return
amplifies its beat,
your touch swells
the sound,
filling me full,
deafening me
to all else
but you.

This is beautiful, Kathi! Very sensuous. I can feel it, the absence, in your words. I'm just now returning to our blog after a different kind of absence. I tried to comment yesterday and I couldn't remember my Google account name. I hope this goes through!
