Suffering

Peter A. Tetro

It is the absence

the non-presence

the void
like the snapshot snipped
that jogs the memory
and cuts it short.
More acutely and precisely
drawn to the edge
of some warm comfort
that’s been expunged

erased

removed
to better nag and drag
the psyche or mind
into the whirlpool of the turmoil
that though known, is gone

departed
and yet still known.
