the space between us
like the dry blackness between stars
the depressive air
between different mind zones

We contort it with a hug;
I slice it with coffeespoons.
Lovers, friends, and family
we walk on opposite sides of the street
as the titanic city sinks into night
every street light soldier
in the great procession
giving its red salute to the sky

Things are always complicated;
mistakes made in permanent ink
can't be erased
but there was never a chance
for a rough draft;
the space between us
is dark and daft

great

the theme is very similar to things I write, it's bittersweet and gives the sense of dialouge between yourself and someone who may or may not be listening. my 2 main criteria for gret poetry
