Keeping Things Whole

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

How I wish it applies to the notes in my wallet cus it always went missing. :)
On a serious note, I was thrown off by....'I am the absence' and then..'Whenever I am, I am what is missing'. Scary cus they are the most original lines I have ever read.
