I Drift Away

All the times I drift away

Carried by the waters of my mind

To the ballad of our kinship

The felt-sense of your comfort

Guiding me away from —

The reality

That I cannot stretch far enough

To graze your face with my palms —

So I return here

I return and return

To my affection turning and tuning

Expanding beyond the boundaries

Of your absence
