awake
brooding and piecing together
the course of action for
today’s festivities
upon the open floor plan of
a million and one seconds
this day will consist of
before we return back here once more
the stillness of the air outside
and a lunar darkness that
rides the wave of chill
right up to the frame of the door
silently letting me know that
we are trapped inside here for a while
and there is no reason to be
anything but immensely grateful
for you and the fact that
we were close to each other so long ago
yet so many miles and years are gone
and here we are being close again
the best is yet to come…
