[ NaPo 2018 ] 1006

          
Distance overcome in mouse clicks      
or typing away precariously      
on an electronic device;  
my elephantile fingertips    
never forgetting how to type "O"   
       
Dwelling in a digital zoo      
jumping lively through       
Hypertext Transfer Protocol  
hoops just to get to know you      
       
IF this is quote living unquote      
       
Crippled, this body incapable of      
inhaling flower scented valleys      
grazing upon goosebumped skin      
suckling dewdropped tongue      
       
In a 1006 mile trek to your door      
may the Universe guide me      
in my migrational desire for      
       
a wild life with you
