Monday Poem: The Distances in the Universes of our Eyes

The Distances in the Universes of our Eyes

We fall between the stars, and know,
as distances all spread around,
about what it means to be alone.
We stood and watched the arcing skies
above us, turning with the world

looking for signs,
looking for reasons

for why this world is turning still
and why it turns alone each day
we stand and watch the turning stars

looking for signs
looking for reasons

we turn back to each other, search
the distances between the stars
in universes of our eyes

looking for signs
looking for reasons

We will walk back together now
to that small room we know so well,
remove each other’s clothes to lie
together, skin against warm skin

looking for signs
looking for reasons.
