We forget that air <br />is a substance <br />we can’t see it <br />but it’s there <br />connecting everything <br /> <br />and everyone <br /> <br />With every breath <br />i take you in <br />give back myself <br />we are in touch <br />no matter how far <br /> <br />The distance an illusion <br />between that which is <br />not and can not be <br />separated. <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in Bellowing Ark, Vol.22, Number 5, Sept/Oct 2006)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fiber/
