Long Distance Relationship

Long Distance Relationship

A Poem by Anja Berestetska
"

Within long distance relationship

"

‘Baby’ -

You calling from Far Away,

Your voice jumps

Over the ocean

With light delay.

‘Hey!’

I’m five hours in the future,

18000 seconds ahead,

But how to

measure this number

Correctly?

Instead,

I imagine

The sunset

Mirroring in your eyes,

The watch bouncing

on your wrist,

Your stomach anticipating

A tasty dinner:

Pasta or sushi,

Ding-dong of the keys,

Soft sunshine

painting your skin,

Buzzling metro station,

Street lights changing

From red to green,

The scent of gardenias

And gasoline

(Why gardenias anyway?)

The warmth in the air,

Street vendors packing,

Your thumb pressing

the bottom ‘Play’,

The cars passing by,

Honking in choir,

Your steps

Attached to the music,

As you walk

out of office,

Down the hill,

Hands in the pockets

I hear you

smile

‘Baby, I’m here’,

18000 seconds ahead,

From other side

of the pond


Calling me.

Oh Yes you go it just right > The things we recall when miles away from each other
Counting the time down until we are re united again
The smells: after shave: perfume > all the small things we dont notice when we are near
