Long Distance
Moving west with two cats
you rode shotgun
you wrote a poem-
not to share
I left, twenty years behind
you chose not to come
permanent, you were the
missing family piece
twenty years I was not number one
family came before me
Long distance is our reality
so Face Time
short, expensive trips
you say you love me
this can not be so
you practice chicanery
to you family, to me
residence is not a priority
I will meet someone and nothing of 20 years will matter; you have control of coming or staying.
You are my long distance.
