missing

In an earlier post, I showed a picture of my orchid. The seven blossoms looked fresh, dewy, transparent for weeks. But then, one got somehow thinner and began to droop. It fell. The strange part is that all the other blossoms remained perfect for weeks more. It wasn't the first blossom to open, nor the last. It wasn't the biggest or the smallest. It just left a hole in the progression of things.

A friend of mine passed away April 3rd.
