somewhere a train enters a terminal
while you untie your robe

an explosion rattles windows
you button your coat cursing the cold

I bite my tongue until it hurts
to keep from touching you

you regret your new shoes

as horses stand asleep somewhere

the instant space swallows light
the proof of some fabric we could not weave

you chew your bottom lip
then remove your gloves

somewhere a glass is emptied & refilled
as I measure the distance between us
