Distance demeans us
for now fourteen days,
Distance between us
obscene with clichés,
The grace gleaned atonement
as our love is scoured
in space between moments,
minutes and hours.
The senseless deceit;
seduction perverted,
Less than complete
destruction averted,
Obsessed as I seek
prince burned by charade,
Less than a week
since I learned he betrayed.
From dreams bleak
come night scares;
enshrouding the outcome,
Two weeks from nightmare
I strive to arouse from…
Two weeks resorting
to doubt, lies and whimpers,
Two weeks to sort out
the dream signs and whispers,
Two weeks derided
by sickness and penis,
Two weeks divided
by distance between us.

For Aaron & Brian,
2 weeks to the day.
