It took me a few days to unwind and time away from the internet definitely helped. This prompt is from Totally Optional Prompts, about "absent friends." Well, this is about a most beloved friend and a certain kind of absence. I guess something else is stirred up when I'm not at work...
Missing Him
cavernous
immense and rumbling
with each tremble
my skin contracts
down to my toes
wanting
like summer
wants
the ocean
like a tongue
waits
for taste
senses heightened
so a hand
over shoulder blade
sends boulders into the river
already full
of flood water
