Your absence bites
like ants that swarm on my skin,
overloads my nervous system
and holds it captive.
The longing lingers in every synapse
where you used to be.
I tried the shower to wash away
bites of longing for you,
to cool it down, drain it off
from consciousness like water to the sink.
But your absence left its marks
all over my mind, painful and itchy.
