the missing
-------------
we both we've gone missing, missing...
somehow missed each other in time and space
but not calling, never this
that we have and share in spades, this calling
isn't missing, never missing
always torturing, nurturing, bleeding like the barber's leeches
it tastes like lust, this lifework, this lifeline
like shed blood on a lover's tongue
we both we've gone missing, kissing solitude...
somehow kissed this phantom other in time and space
share this pain, always that
which we share and bear, this affliction
isn't missing, always kissing
always sucking, fucking, draining like a dead infidelity
it scents of desperation, this art, this avocation
like a luscious hole in a lover's soul

Hmmm so you're going to a military ENT ofr your septum repair? Just make sure that whatever they do , they do not alter the outer structure of your nose. (Sometimes straightening the septum can shorten or lengthen it a bit and change your profile...) (Unless you want that. Then you should be seeing a plastic surgeon though...)
You will have packing in your nose for a while. It sucks b/c you have to breathe through your mouth and your tongue gets really dry. Even the "breathable packing" sucks. What helped for me was sucking on ice chips and at night putting a thin layer of Aquaphor on my tongue.
All in all though, it was SO worth it in the end to be able to breathe better and not have a constant sinus headache! When is your surgery??
