in space
I'm the dearth
of space
you are too I imagine
but I don't know you
I guess
it is always so
with me
no matter where I am
I'm the part that isn't there
as I walk from place to place
the air
like Moses' Sea parts
then closes back together
as I leave that space
that is my quest in life
my motivation for
my wandering walks
to make space
adept at closing
the air behind me
practice makes perfect

A quite original thought you express here, dear Jerry. The dearth of space can become a torment, but it's not you, but your feeling. We move ahead in search of new space, in a certain sense we feel confined in this big/yet infinitely small place that is our Earth compared to the Universe/Universes that surround us.

Just my interpretation of your thought provoking work.

Ahhh . . . as usual, Margherita , your interpretation is spot on. Thank you much for being here and expressing yourself.
