The Lack

 The lack 


you don’t remember 

what you’re missing 


only a diffuse pain 

in an area it could inhabit 


a desire 

you can’t describe 


nostalgia for a place 

never visited  


missing someone 

you’ve never met 


as memories 

are replaced by media 


you accept this feeling 

as a sort of poisoned ambition


it fuels you 

and you’re not sure 


how you feel 

about it
