Thoughts on Breaking up While Looking Over the Golden Horn

if it's distance you want
then so it shall be;
if it's the absence of presence-
which is distance
of another kind-
then let the mingling
of corporeal aspects
dis-entwine.

but if it's memory
you would erase,
my love,
then think only of water
and the warning that lies buried there,
for it never forgets.
