This poem is from my latest available book, Rules of a Setting Sun

[hr]

We are close, our distance nothing,
the world, tens, hundreds
infinite distance separates,
our lives, but not our minds.

The world. Tens, hundreds,
millions of people, all know
our lives, but not our minds.
We will overcome the distance.

Millions of people all know
we are apart, yet are together.
We will overcome the distance
from the world, we will not be silent.

We are apart, yet are together.
Infinite distance separates
from the world, we will not be silent.
We are close, our distance nothing.
