Two Points Make a Stitch


A universe holds between their breaths
Where words are dropped to fall forever
Where unforeseen gravities bend each moment
Until an hour together is eternity
Until foreshortened by hindsight
A breath away in time but oh so far.

A lifetime runs its course between their eyes
In flickers of undiscovered countries
While thoughts maze their way to blank walls
While each dear second drifts away
In the silence that they keep
A glance away in space but out of sight.
