80 – SEPARATION II

if
I could
reach across
the distance to you
hold your hand, walk with you
feel you asleep beside me,
make you laugh,
kiss you
hello or good night.
I would.
Now and now and now.

But I can’t
so, I write this instead.
An attempt to make this
unbelieving mind of mine believe
that if I could,
I could!
I really could.
