Chaos Baby
You never distracted me as much as in your absence.
By Tiffany MercerPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read
Did you know it’s your disruptions that
I would miss the most?
Stray hairs,
Tan and clinging,
Rampant as tumbleweeds.
A snout nudging my elbows, requesting
Cucumber slices, noisily crunching.
Tail beating the wall at night, happy
In your dreams.
Only heartbreaking silence fills the spaces you left behind;
Never has quiet felt less peaceful.
