the distance between us

the 2 pm rolling shadows that were never seen under the great monoliths of the east,
bound our eyes to them, darkened ocean waves over grass.
ghosts under our fire.
A red brick church off the main road,
it was there I first sang hymns
amazing grace
I'm finally going home he said to the crowd, standing.
my stomach sank with anxiety.
how sweet the sound
she was my first thought, my first phone call.
once I was lost
but now I am found.
