can be significant
not in length
but in distance
his distance
from you
to you
measure it discreetly
size it up
if inches mean years
think carefully
but, look also
at his shoulders
at his hands
in his eyes
that's where
the true distance
rests, waiting
for you to discern

Madame! I love seeing you here! And your point is exactly what I was trying to say. The back and forth.... dance, stumble, stumble, dance.
Zella, you little cutie! (I remember that pic from yesterday!) I'm glad you liked it. Minimalistic was the only way to do this one, methinks.
Doloresflores, if you print it, does that somehow mean I've been published? Sort of? On a very 'small press', shall we say? Thank you.
Sally - such a generous compliment! Thank you, truly.
Julie! Thanks. Hey, about that drive you two take at night.... hmmm... what about a walk? With the dogs? Might help take the edge off. (But, remember free advice is only worth what you pay for it.)
peece,

I enjoyed this. Crabbies gone yet?
That resonates. You've put a name to the thing that stretches a heart until it's thin and ragged, like a length of old twine. Rated. Bookmarked.
Sunday is either Lost Love Night at OS, or my keyboard is choosing blogs like a Ouija board. Sleep won't come easy tonight.
and lovely writing: compressing so much thought, feeling and insight as Duaneart says, into so few words.
Just when I think I've come up with a new concept or idea, I find out how very universal it is. And truth be told, I love when that happens, maybe I'm not so 'out there' after all.
Please know that I'm reading these comments more than once. That's how much your opinions mean to me.
This one came quickly to me yesterday and I wrote it before the concept drifted too far. I'm glad you both liked it.
