small spaces


only so many minutes allowed 

like a felon 

her man on the other side of the wire

a glimpse means a lot

touch brief 

thoughts through the night

during empty hours of the day

serve to worsen the divide

it is no way to live

no way to die

there is no now, no later

no conjugal afterlife 

it is a powerful attraction 

that defies logic and law

I never understood the attraction either. But it happens. Nicely described.

I liked this, and it needs to be read several times to find its meaning - at least for me. And are they separated by the institution, of by life?
