A girl I know on facebook
posted a picture
of an animal skeleton she saw on the ground
I wanted to click and "share."
It made my heart ache.
Not the dessicated remains of some feral cat
or squirrel
or rat
or racoon
but knowing that you would see it too
and take the same photo
capturing the universal
trapped in a pile of bones
Each day is this.
Moments trying not to think
about how you'd like this or that.
What you might be doing now.
Who you've done, if anyone.
Wondering if words could span
3,000 miles
and bridge the gap.
But I can't speak out of turn
and so the distance grows
between me
and
you.
