TOGETHER APART

The fan whirrs
annoyingly repetitive
like life-cycles,
birth-death-rebirth

occasional noise of
a page turned
or a stance shifted

body clocks
tic-toc,tic-toc
same time,different zones

in life's 
two adjacent rooms
all bridges burnt
windows nailed

two hearts
and a wall
a thousand tears thick
between the 
a( together) part !
