addition
    the sun against the concrete sidewalk
    brushed by a wednesday's breeze
    our eyes meet
    and i am con-sumed by blue
    and i am displaced in white
    and i am lost

    side by side
    we share the same concrete square
    blurring personal space
    forgetting to exhale her scent
    adding her soul to mine

    step by step
    she moves galaxies away
    leaving the air cold
    not out of cruelty
    but out of compulsion
