temporary

a few days, simple

a few nights,  difficult  

 

An absence of words, of perfume 

watching the curve you have carved in our mattress

slowly disappear  

 

darkness occupies the halls you do not walk in 

ten lamps do not replace your light and  

no movie dialogue can drown out your silence 

 

"Temporary,"  you said,   "Just a few days"  

you didn't mention the nights
