Poem for today:

Enough to Say It's Far

About the distance
to the sun and moon, to the stars,
whatever else, it is
enough to say it's far.

And the distance between
my love and me,
since it cannot be measured with a rule,
for this too
it is enough to say it's far.

I cannot see beyond
these things, afloat,
glimmering,
in the bowl of cool water.
And because of my thirst
now I have no other thought
than to drink of this cool water.
