in the absence

hello digital pages
you've been neglected
i know
for months
maybe really i'll count them as years
because that's probably more realistic
to how many times
to how many excuses
to how many humble realizations
i've had
of each
(UN)WRITTEN
reflection
i've left you
WITHOUT.

i'm leaving this song here for various reasons
infinite
and yet probably pretty simple
when it comes down to it.

i'm learning everyday
it really is all
very simple.
it all just depends on the lens,
right?

a few words and short phrases before i go...

.. two more shows
... one big fundraiser
.... friends from all over
..... wounds to kiss (even if they're mine, and my lips have to be the seal to heal and break them)
...... flowers to trim
....... and planes, to wish on.
