Description
When you miss someone, where exactly is the hole?I mean that as a real question, not a poetic flourish. Is the hole in you? Is it in them? Is it in the space between you, or in the room they used to fill? Is it in your chest, your hands, your calendar, your kitchen? Because if you have ever missed someone badly, you know the feeling has a location. It is not everywhere at once. It lives somewhere specific, and it moves around. It is in the chair at breakfast, then in the phone you pick up to text them, then in the song that comes on in the supermarket, then back in your chest at night.
