fates absence makes

Absence makes materials 
of its own, of substances 
unknown in your presence. 
Of patterns whose key
design feature is lack. 
As enough of these stack 
and interlock, what's gone 
seems unavoidable, and 
the arrangement simply

sits
waiting 
for you, 
fate's accomplice, 

to show up and reveal 
what all of this 
without-you
was always 

gong to be
for
.
