She has been gone now over two months.
Recently her son, my husband, returned home from a ten day trip.
Recently her son, my husband, returned home from a ten day trip.
So lovely to see him; catching up, asking questions.
But that question did not come

Even as I knew it would not, I waited for it and felt its absence.
Missed in its not asking and missed in its not answering,
two more absences forming round the space where she had been.
