Another Airport Poem

Ana Maria Caballero

No,
this is not about the sharing of caution.
This is merely about distance
and its reverse magnetism.
About the slow winding of a week's time
into the delicate tautness of a telephone line.
About the opposite windmilling of willing hands
powered by the onshore breeze
that blows,
however softly,
on separate lands.

Ana Maria Caballero worked in finance, journalism, wine importation, and even on an international anti-drug campaign for the Colombian government before recently becoming a mom. Now she focuses her attention on writing poetry and book thoughts. Some of her work is available at www.thedrugstorenotebook.co.
