Vacancy March 20, 2026

  

I feel the absence like I would a missing tooth, not fully aware after all this time why it occurred, only aware of the reality, the blackhole into which my whole world collapsed, back then, this day before the day when Spring comes, a long six weeks since he groundhog saw his shadow. This time of year – like back then – is always the start of something new, and often unexpected, the vacancy of winter aching to get filled, and I wait, and I wonder, how is it I can fill up something so long gone, something I still crave to get back, even when it is clear, some spaces just can’t be refilled, and we must live with the vacancy.
