I.

i know i should have said this long ago
but you are the source
of every hand's inspired glide
across my cell-phone's face

II.

i write these snow-lit nights
so that your beauty knows but never needs
to wave its hand towards a single voice
who wants to write and kiss you
through this suffocating screen

III.

on the day i tell you how i feel
i'll take you past these faded buttons
that define what love means in our time
past the slides of fingers and their doubts
to places where the currents lift
my words and winds
to be read and offered
passage through the air
