Where Distance Begins

How much distance can live
within a language?
The one we choose
to express ourselves,
if there is more than one.

One day,
 poetry will remember
 her mistakes.

Not yet.

At night—
 a memory becomes distance
 into more distance.

Indeed,
 the question remains;
  is not human distance
   the distance a language holds:
    the first is felt, the second?
     eroding
      whatever
       lies
        in between.
