Love Poem: What Are You Going To Do

What Are You Going To Do

What are you going to do —
now that I stare at you,
listening into the silence, howling
the absence of noise?
What are you going to do —
now that my heart and all the ounce
of reason that embraces it, drops
into the cold tile floor?
What are you going to do —
now when the distance that separates 
my feet to your feet is a 
giant stretch of air, and people,
and books and rubble and
impossibility 
and dying chances?
