Absence

In the throngs of the world

In the space of a sigh

In the whirling frenzy

Have I passed you by?

[Except from Absence (The Attic & Other Poems)]

So, why so?

A time there was when

My awkward silence

Had an eager audience

So why’s it now even

My soulful refrain

Flows on but in vain?
