long distance for now

Three years, three months and three days

Perhaps it’s a random amount of time

But in three hours this flight will take off

Gotta take three minutes to freshen up

And look away for for three seconds

No worrying now about free pushbacks 

Let’s put up memories with thumbtacks 

All adds up in life’s measured advances

give up shallying; on finding and sharing

what could be thought of as inner beauty

when these hirsute thoughts bristle again

berating what little of self regard remains 

it’s but an exaggeration to point out hate

when clearly it wasn’t my poem but myself

that lay on literature’s butcher-block altar

think of you

for whom threadbare scraps

are treasures under your table 

deserts, ever undulated dunes 

 

in picture-book perfect gales

 

stripping away like sandpaper 

perhaps the sting of salt rain

shall sterilize this wanting within

then come and gaze again at

 

the light residing in my eyes 

then tell me if your reflection

shines with crystalline truth

some time, think of us, of me
