Sometimes
an absence
a void
is a wound
a hurt
made habitual
made ignorable
until
it is healed
then relief
then realization
the pain has been there
all along
but now banished
bridged.
I talked to a friend
I thought lost
not through conflict
or estrangement
but distance
and time
I found our connection
perhaps not iron
like once it was
but strong
and sustaining.
