time beyond time

it's only been
   4
days.

i count them with my
   finger on the
calendar.

wednesday, thursday,
   friday, saturday??!!
but it seems like
   decades.

my calls reach out for
   you like a blind
man in an empty
   room.

i love you with the
   certainty of an infant's
open arms &

need your love to
   feed my
heart.

even when i'm
   missing you, i'm
holding you
tight.
