Ficlets

Distances

These words aren’t personal. They’re descriptive.

Each character is inscribed by cold hard lines.

I can’t get close enough to feel the empathy I eloquently phrase.

Couched in rhythmic sweet tones of pure irony I write what I cannot feel.

From the tip of my pen to the paper seems immeasurable to the throbbing of my heart.
