The Distance – Delhi Poetry Slam

The Distance

By Spriha Roy

The distance of a mouse,
The distance of a house.
The distance of a river,
This distance only got deeper.

The distance of a colony,
Now she can barely see you from her balcony.
The distance of a street,
Now you don't even go to meet.

The distance of a state,
Is it really worth the wait?
The distance of a country,
She hopes all these are only momentary.

The distance of a world,
Hesitation was what occurred.
The distance of a universe,
All of these feels like a curse.

How are you so far away from her?
When you are sitting right next to her.
