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

think of them
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

think of me
think of me, of us, some time
bandying of thoughts will do
let them sidle up close to you
just as we did not so long ago
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
