thoughts from the front...

distances
wilted flowers from a forgotten feast
stare at me from the vase,
and i stare back
what do you use as a measure for this gap?
the distance from here to the moon,
the miles between two cities,
the countless pebbles of an autumn's empty beach,
the space between your body facing away from mine,
even as you lie next to me?
