A Certain Rarefaction
This was scribbled at Bo’s Café after a bookstore excursion in Cebu last week.
I currently visited nooks acquainted with our laughter. They suffer emptiness now. Your absence causes every object to be suddenly aware of the spaces amidst them. The shelves seem to lack a volume that perplexes the neurotic emotion. The other seat in the café is uninhabited. There appears to be a vacuous universe between my lips and the demitasse. Even my laughter longs for its extension. The distance between two quavers is unlawfully lengthened b a breath or two. Only the zoetic memory of you brings about a faint rustle between pages and a stir in my espresso…
…but I shall leave nooks and niches, things animate and
inanimate disturbed by this emptiness.
I am not empty.
You are in me. =)
