Long Distance
If we couldn't speak
the miles between us
would seem full of universes
too vast to explore.
We would get lost trying to navigate
star systems with unfamiliar constellations.
Our voices are the only way
we pull each other closer.
The path of your words
leads me around spinning planets
and the oceans that boil on their surfaces,
teeming with secret life.
Our voices turn galaxies
into stepping stones.
