Alone does not describe
A lack of presence alone
It stands for intangible ties
That do not exist
Alone does not describe
A dearth of bodily warmth
It marks an openness
That never is
Alone does not describe
A weeknight without plans
It means a tender word
Not even thought

So true, Clive. I have a poem titled the same, with much the same sentiment. Thank you for sharing. Peace
