the space between us
filled with goodbyes,
now empty
In response to Carpe Diem Special #135 , a prompt for ‘Freestyle Haiku”, breaking out of the 5/7/5 format. The inspiration provided was this Haiku by Santoka Taneda:
now they’re burned
these are all the ashes
from my diaries
THOUGHT PURGE

There is definitely an art to emptying the space between people—and filling it as well.
