Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

Not Alone


For months now, we have been separated by great waters.
In starker terms: 7,080 miles.
More recently, a germ has rushed in between us.
A virus so tiny a fine grain of sand dwarfs it.
But this germ is greedy and wants to seize all of our air.
Still, there is nothing holding us apart, my dear.
Daily, waveforms allow me to hold the whole of you in my hand.
My thoughts regularly place you alongside me.
Your face fills all the uneasy gulfs between all rational thought.
I may be the only person here, but I am not alone.
I swear, you are always here with me.
