I can see
how people fall apart
how the distance grows
on an empty, lonely beach,
wind howling, sand kicking up
green waves whining.
We are so often apart,
off in this world
meeting great faces,
talking to people
we'd never have known
if we had worked together.
When I am with you again,
the space is still there
a blanket of pregnant air
as we swim towards each other
ending up in a grateful hug, which says
at least your body fits mine
and at least there will be another day
to get closer,
another day to listen
to our songs
