Been there… You capture the moment perfectly, it makes me return to a time and place I would prefer not to perhaps. But I can feel those sheets again and the pang of absence. Beautiful.

This poem is bittersweet; it’s cute first lines slowly accumulate into sadness and longing. I can relate to this emotionally.

Anna, thank’s for stopping by my blog. I enjoyed this one. At first I thought that is was funny, but by the end I felt the sadness. You should really write more!
After reading your explenation above it had even more meaning to me. My wife leaves often due to work and I know the sadness so well. It never ends.
Please visit again.

Hi, I just got your comment, and wow! you just lifted my spirits.

I was going through your blog, and believe me I liked all of them so much. Especially this one.

You are right Brian, the act of flattening sheets add an extra element of sadness to all of this

Thanks very much for the feedback. I have to credit you with the double meaning. I hadn’t thought of it.

I imagine this poem could mean many things … in this case the absence is not due to discord but due to necessities … “business trips.”

But its true it can also be the other kind of absence and in that case there is a definite double meaning.

A moving piece on the theme of ‘absence’. I liked the double meaning in the last line of the first stanza: “you were lying inside”.

I empathize. Do write more, and be blessed. Cheers.
