FLIGHT FROM ONE ANOTHER

Yesterday,
We built next to
Each other,
Shared compounds and
Told stories by firesides
In the courtyard.


Today,
We hug walls and fences
Peering over at each other,
As though we were
Diseased and at war
With one another.


Tomorrow,
We’ll become
Balloons and fly far from
Each other,
We’ll barely see one another
Let alone dream of talking
Like we are right now.
