SMALL TALKS

space.

there is so much s p a c e
between us lately

like the distance between your thumb and my forefinger

our hands don't fold as closely together these days

there used to be s t a r s
in your eyes

like every light from the night sky
present all at once

they shined down on me, on us, on all the now forgotten plans

there was the light from the m o o n
in your mind

like a great sphere reminding me you were always there

illuminating incandescent embers on your incredible ideas

now i feel as though g r a v i t y
has left the world

left us

leaving us with nothing but empty
s p a c e

as we float endlessly about

no route no plans

there are too many g a l a x i e s
between our hearts

so when mine beats for you
you barely hear it calling

that's all there is in this
u n i v e r s e

in which you once was

but now i'm left with nothing

and there is

too

much

s p a c e

- the galaxies that separate us.
