Absent

Absent,

 

is the arching of your foot,

 

a habit of restlessness,

 

that causes your shoe to

 

dangle.

 

Absent,

 

is the far off gaze in your

 

eyes,

 

a habit of daydream,

 

that causes your attention to

 

lapse.

 

Absent,

 

is the twisting and turning of

 

a wedding band,

 

a habit of desire,

 

that causes your heart to

 

wander.

 

Do you wish you were

 

not here?

 

Do you perchance to dream?

 

Of your beloved taking you far

 

away from here?

 

Of him slipping off your shoes

 

caressing and kissing your toes,

 

as a prelude to love made upon

 

the grassy hill?

 

Is that why you are absent

 

from here?
