I love the rhythm, the repitition of other. The word "Mother" echoes in the background of this poem's semantics, but that's an Oedipal thing probably. It would be cool to write that this way, to some how add a syntactical device maybe a capitalized (M), bolded in front of one of the "other"s. A missing person, no matter how they become a vacancy to us, is always a hard thing to let settle.

...Oedipal because I'm male, not because you intended it to be that or that it came across that way snikker
