NPM 2018: Absent (Day 30)

Well... I forgot about the 28th. I suppose I could post two poems right now but I just don't have the emotional energy, and I already wrote three haikus this month. So here you go. One poem, written on the spot, to finish out National Poetry Month. Thank you to all who read my work. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you'll be back to read again next year (or whenever I decided to blog again.)




Absent

Under a tree
shaken by wind
Across an empty table
with empty hands
In the shape of
nothing
Known by the color
of nothing
She said
I will leave this place
and I will be new
with the first step
And the wind
laughed
The wind talked back
at nothing
Because she
was already gone
