Drifting Apart. Poem by Tara Schley

Drifting Apart.

Rating: 5.0

I heard today that continents move apart at the same rate fingernails grow.
I trimmed my nails and moved to paint on your favourite colour of nail polish.
- I painted on mine instead.
I considered the slivers of nail clippings.
...two continents had drifted that much farther away from each other.

Slowly.

- Like us.

Tara Schley.
