separation swings through the air like a steel bar
it keeps smacking me in the face
I’m staggering
I run away it chases me
there’s no escaping it
my knees fail I’m falling
separation isn’t time or distance
it’s the bridge between us
finer than silk thread sharper than a sword
finer than silk thread sharper than a sword
separation is the bridge between us
even when we sit knee to knee
“separation isn’t time or distance
it’s the bridge between us
finer than silk thread sharper than a sword”
All too true, and well expressed.
Yes, and unfortunately not all bridges can be crossed.
But then again, to paraphrase Robert Creeley,
“If life were easy, what would this sadness be about.”
