The distance between us

Image
The distance between us feels like an iron cloud covering all my body. Could it be we were born to wander on opposite poles? I’m undulating river lying on your dreamlike  Lazarus chest oblivious to my leafless twilight. I have patches of yellow  planted on my skin  that are not immune to cold. Today I sing you my melody The same as I’ll sing it tomorrow. Maybe you're too far to taste  the gifts you’ve already savored from my wedding banquet. I do not care, my Lazarus.  The distance won’t make me impatient. You sowed flower and new moon  long ago on the clear surface from my tearful day. But now  I do not know if I remember  the color and texture of your hair. I don’t even recall your reflection in my eyes.
