Unbridgeable Chasm
when distance cuts at love
confounding closeness
we grumble at Skype connecting
broken in its transmitting
togetherness that edges to confusion
turbulence in modernity
when we're unsure of what lies ahead
in slim rays of long distance longing
can love fall its way to slumber?
our chasm
settling in our lost sleep
life imperfect like the moon in pot mark littering
space junk
to trigger all our fretting
we sense where things are headed
with careers of solo plotting
no romp of a reunion, pending
lives that long a re-uniting are tangled
like Christmas tree lighting
no strategy for bridging this abyss
when the desire to live one's life
unencumbered
pushes all else aside
like pens tapping on a desk
restless in the waiting
