Why do we
Dance this dance
Why when I
Advance you retreat
Why when I
Ignore you appear
When oh when
Will you and
I be at
The same place
At the same
Time that we
Were when we
Began or are
We supposed to
Fly through the
Heavens simply nodding
As we pass
Each other forever
Bumping into others
That don’t exist
It’s interesting to
Realize that even
Without you here
Things that you
Touched ate or
Heard somehow reminds
Me of you
As though you
Are still here
As I touch
Eat and hear
Them once again
You are hanging
Here like curtains
Of my life
We all make
A mark somewhere
In this life
Sometimes as broad
As shoveling
A path through
Snow drifts or
The placement of
Bread atop refrigerators
That change how
We see things
Or find things
Yet some are
As subtle as
A thumbprint on
Those you love
In love we
Tend to chase
What we want
And avoid what
We need true
Love is uncomfortable
And hurts but
True love teaches
Us hope in
Things beyond ourselves
There is nothing
As bad as
Being picked over
Chosen over others
There’s this purity
Being all alone
In a world
Of others perhaps
Now it’s your
Time to fly
Am I done
Have you finally
Arrived at B
When we initially
Started at A
