Abstractions of Absence
On its mostly shadowed half
the vibrant canvas
pales to black.
Abstractly
this means many things
to passers through the gallery:
death
the preference
looms to mind
though
there I find
the edge of space
outside my world
some trace of face
where brushstrokes vaguely memorize
the artwork of your absent eyes.
