For Ariel

a silence the length of a teenage dream
stretched between our beginnings
the intake of breath

i take you in
mothering arms and a hungry heart
beating never felt so good

i languish for the heat of your voice
when my fingers possess your secrets
and tuck them away

our distance amplifies every breath
every pause
the elevator music box filling our thoughts
with awkward jazz riffs

as we struggle against the bonds
we never expected
but are learning to love.
