The Great Divide

by Genevieve Sturrock

we are continents
faulted and cracked
tectonic plates
separated
moving
endlessly shifting
with imperceptible
motion
in the
day by day
marching
of time
and yet
here we are
years later
disconnected
by a sea of
missed opportunities
completely
foreign
to one
another

No argument there. This breezes like time like a weird, flickering dream in the middle of an afternoon. Great work.

Very nice write lady. But it seems to me that at times the nearer we are the more we are apart. And even while hugging there may well be this chasm between us.
