all there is

And yes we may wander;

the gap between us grows to an abyss.

The trees lose their leaves and grow them again

to fill the emptiness that

barren branches bring.

And although I cannot bring forth your fingertips,

if I shut my eyes at the right time in the night,

you are holding my hand beneath a street lamp sky.

They say the world is bigger than this but

I don't believe it.

I know these alleyways like an alphabet.

I have stumbled through these streets with you

like a newborn calf,

slowly learning what it means to roam.

These nights,

this city,

spilled wine:

we both know this is

all there is.
