Vague

after seeing you
an uneasy feeling 
settled into my 
stomach

in the pit 
where all uneasy
feelings 
seem to settle
shifting 
churning

not a burning because
burning 
would fill me

like hate burns
like love burns
like need fills
even emptiness fills

just a
vague uncertainty
like something's gone or missing
not even missing, really

something 
I never even had
in the first place

I felt it last night
drifting 
through me
settling in
as if a half remembered dream or memory
that might
or might not be true

that I can't seem grasp
that I can't seem to feel 
for sure

just a vague  . . . 
uneasy feeling
