2461 Miles

Caught in a cloud at SFO,

ferklempt with multi-continental fatigue

- your consciousness a kite

barely tethered by thread –

you raggedly radiated

inexhaustible delight.



My little meshugina

from decades past

( although evidently

an irreversible resident of recollection )

still inhabited

your large mischievous laugh -

the lyrical lilt of which

quickly recalled and reconciled

twenty years of unattended history

and 2464 miles.
