Monday Poem: Distances Between

Distances Between

Distance is always the space
in-between places and times.

We talk of distance and only speak
of the absence of closeness.

It could be so easy, if only
we allowed time to stand still

as we move between moments
as we move between places

we find hidden in the lost regions
beyond the edges of all our maps.

We take these routes into distance
seeking some new unknown land

far from the crowds of history
and all those mistakes we made

when we were too young to know
how to turn back and walk away.
