Room in Brooklyn, by Edward Hopper
Miguel Hernández

Absence

Absence in everything I see:
Your eyes reflect it.
 
Absence in everything I hear:
Your voice sounds on time.
 
Absence in everything I inhale:
Your breath smells of grass.
 
Absence in everything I touch:
Your body depopulates.
 
Absence in everything I taste:
Your mouth banishes me.
 
Absence in everything I feel:
Absence. Absence. Absence.
