BETH MULCAHY 

CONNECTING FLIGHTS

The space between
shower and sleep (smells like shampoo on wet hair)
between
night and day (no one else awake yet)
between
here and there (on airplane flying over ocean)
between
we meet at last and I love you too  

The space between
coming and going
between
hands not touching
between
packing and unpacking
between
summer and autumn
between
grief and joy
between
you and me
between
sips
between
us
