Exchanges

 

They exchanged songs

And comments mixed

With video and stills,

Spoke a bit of yesterday,

The empty part of today,

But never of the future,

There was no tomorrow

In the snippets of their

Conversations and tweets,

Like treading water, killing

Now time, they teased and

Tempted back and forth, no

Promises, no commitments,

And yet they could be lovers

Should circumstance catch

Them on the same tide, under

The same moon, adrift in

The nonchalant bravado

That blew kisses from deep

In the heart of their exchanges.
