These moments we steal away
lovely, but not enough.
Days, weeks, months we occupy
the same spaces in different time zones.
This is life that I would not trade
for all the open roads to lay out before me
a thousand ill-suited lovers. No.
Miles of crossed paths and messages,
fighting currents to stay connected
for these moments we steal away.
