She lingers in the spaces between speech.
Her mouth, a whisper, stares across this reach.
Her hunger hits the pillows, bounces back.
I press the phone in closer to our lack.
Her voice is highway's wait for winter rain.
My voice meets her tempo and refrain.
We linger for the future, its wet smoke.
Our breath as still as frozen water
and the dam it broke.

Mike, this is wonderful...I can see between the lines what each has in its hold.

==============================

gawwwd I love this ...
I hate and know all too well the ache of the distance...but treasure the angsty inspire it graces your pen with..


Her voice is highway's wait for winter rain.

that line is so.... YOU

We linger for the future, its wet smoke.

If I was rich...I'd buy ya a plane

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Michael, reminds me of me and Gary with our nightly phone calls.
