Various absences

When you go away
and when you come
when you weep
tears to addresses
other than mine,
toss name
again and again
float in a teenage stupor
from rehearsal to concert
to photograph and photo-edit
when you sit here
and when I feel I am absent
and absented
through all this and more
now and again
you are

beautiful
still.

    this is truly like a well edited photograph fresh like a teen, we feel like reading again and again and we want to read more and more of 'Malinda poetry' good work.

    good luck

    1. malinda, are you addressing a particular individual in this poem or an abstract concept?
