The Sun Blinds Us to What Is Not Here
like the High Lights page
“what is wrong with this picture?”
look close to see that
the fresh shinny cables and towers
that hold up the new Bay Bridge are missing
and you are still sitting beside me.
Putting Words Together suggested the prompt Keep It Simple or K.I.S.S. which works for me especially today because:
I am feeling a sense of ennui
most of my digital photos of her
were corrupted by
an external hard drive malfunction,
my daughter will be leaving home next weekend.
Nether loss is permanent,
both are shadows of possible holes
in the fabric of my life.

to know that loss is not permanent, and that even the feeling of loss is not permanent, bathes our heart with hope and gives us strength.

Such aching in the second poem and your last three lines are creatively wrought. Great job on the prompt.
