Splitting Images

often repeated
days are folding
a fault line
an image of land splitting
rivers rise
between us an ocean
in such a short time
yet we never notice it
until we never see each
other's shadow again
two islands
between us boats
going to other places
talking of other ports
my fault
i never told you.
