stretch it
It felt like Siberia today
no one around anywhere
in this desolate stretch of time
and it dawned on me that love
is mostly between the lines
and you have to stretch it like putty
as you journey from one
meaningful place to another.
Like the hands of every lover
rubbing your cheeks
the stretching creates friction
and friction creates heat
and that's how you pass
the hours and years
impervious to defeat.
