Mind The Gap


by D. Ohana


Alone,

we are ageless 

together

in the heart 

of our precious now.

A relentless wedge 

of image and vanity, 

gossip and innuendo, 

acceptable and 

most certainly not, 

dashes our agelessness into

an insurmountable chasm of years.

That diabolically grand canyon 

stands between us,

you on one distant rim, 

I on the other. 

An eagle soars

clutching my heart 

with blood stained talons.
