It comes suddenly,
this pain and loneliness
and the question
whether you are awake yet
and then I realise with a cold hand
that grasps my heart
that half a world away
you have left a void in this physical world
and I have no bags
to pack
this July
and no stifling humidity to stare at
with sleepy eyes at midnight
no familiar, cool floors to walk on
just this sadness
and this knot of longing
and the realisation
that this parting is not about me
it was intended
as an answer to your wish
to be safe
and well
in whichever form
of energy
you currently inhabit
and the slanting rays
comfort me
as you always have
