. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

the air between

you
have no
idea what you
are doing to me now
inside… how you watch me
with your future eyes that penetrate
the air between us… i realize that i describe
a moment that hasn’t happened yet
but still, somehow i find
myself inside
you
..

  1. The imagery you associate with your poem reminds me of the idea that “we are all star stuff.” It is wonderfully put in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGK84Poeynk .

    Thanks! And thanks for visiting the other day.
