A Certain Distance
The space maintained
Between you and me
In effect
That which keeps us close
But so very far apart
Is measured by
A mere fraction of a moment
That only exists
Between one heartbeat and the next
Essentially
Between life and death itself
Suspended
Within a solitary fragment
A single breath
And in the scent and taste
You left me savouring
Long after our first embrace
