Analysis of Here and There
Only you could send me a post card
that could summarize
a chapter of two lives
in fifteen and one half lines,
saying you are there
and I am here.
San Francisco and Rochester
have nothing in common
except two friends
who think of each other
when the moon rises
beyond the buildings,
and the night sets cold stars
to frame the outline
of our heads.
