Your Absence - Poem by Des Agos

• 
  
• 
  
• Now in peace, 
• I know that you're gone
• I'm tired and I'm afraid
• falling asleep
• to mix your absence
• with my sleep.
• I look in the dark night
• The distant lights
• there on the hill
• I seem to stars
• clouded.
• The memory of you
• I confuses the mind
• only
• and shut up in the bed
• the crying child to comfort me
• trembling
• fatigue takes me
• abandoning, 
• appear to me, 
• your beauty
• ever.
