Sometimes I tell myself this is all I need: Distance breeding desire that knows no home. For all that, I find how the light that gets lost in the black swirls of my emptying cup accuses me of unbridging that which must connect, eye to eye, hand to hand, lips on brow and then lowering to that which must be consumed.
