the dreams of distance

the space between your fingers
and my body could be
a thousand miles

a desert where it's raining
a river bed, dried and cracked
the Serengeti with no animals

but with eyes closed
i can still see the swirls on your tips
the love lines on your palms
lengthening as they draw near to me
gliding over the desert

touching the universe like
alien invaders, with a
perfect view of the moon
where your hands scoop lunar sands
and let it run through your fingers

in this distance a blue jay sings
the ladybugs swarm us in summer
landing on your knuckles

the motion of your hands is constant
my eyes are always closed
