GAZING THROUGH THE WINDOW FRAME
This is closed position
Your hand soft on wounded shoulder
Your voice the music I need to hear
To dance away the pressing fear
You take the lead
Dipping our toes, light as feathers
Into ink deep as night sky
Composing couplets as we glide
Though I would much prefer
Its imprint on or underneath my skin
Our constant spill serves to remind
Cavorting letters intertwine
Framing connection and separation
The boundaries of our conversation

Those words capture so well long-distant relationships.

Thank you. I wanted to write a poem about the dance, the letter-writing, and the longing. The process of putting this one together was very much like piecing together a puzzle. I like how it came out, and the long distance love does too which of course makes my heart sing.

We wrote letters for 4-5 months before meeting. 21 years togther now we still look back on that phase with affection.
Beautiful. Hard to believe but I've known her for 24 years. Started out long distance, then was dormant for a very long time, erupting again only recently.
