use, while i’m no longer around

every time we come
back together, after spending
many moons apart,
there is a collective sigh,
a letting go of defenses

the years stack themselves
there is nothing quite

like wanting to be near when
we are apart – let

on the lunar
(for grandpa)
on the lunar
calendar, we
are celebrating
our birthdays
today, just one

from each

which feels
like multitudes,
on and off
the system
for counting
so many days
apart

a week away from
you, and a week

balancing the
two sides of
home, as if i were
somewhere
in an outer-
outer borough

we practice stretching
our wings
with each other
so that we may not feel
terribly lost when apart

we have mastered
we have mastered
spending the majority
of our lives in
separate rooms,
and still, we long
to escape

on the mornings when
we are most alone
we are most alone
when we are lying
so close to each
other, we cannot
grasp why
we are
still apart
