Hemispheres of Separation
By Fernanda Valentino
Inspiration piece

Half a planet separates us,

Space and time become confused,

You awaken. I drift out of consciousness.

The day to day that we discuss,

A flimsy veil that cannot be abused;

Half a planet separates us.

Apathetic. Love ambiguous,

Fragile hearts beat, broken, bruised;

You awaken. I drift out of consciousness.

My heart is torn and restless

Fight for love or be accused?

Half a planet separates us.

Important things become superfluous.

Avoiding words that we once used;

You awaken. I drift out of consciousness.

Battered hearts, love on hiatus,

Day is night. Our love excused.

Half a planet separates us.

You awaken, while I drift out of consciousness.

    Another great pairing. There’s such musicality in your poem, Fernanda. The mixed media response engages the viewer to linger and reread the poem.Beautiful work.
