long distance hugs

we Skype
I look at Pearl, she smiles her gap tooth smile
and I remember the lost teeth which remain in my heart's photo of her
the one I look at to say goodnight to,
and True, he's grown, such a sweet face, I want to touch. I am at a loss
for words, just wanting to look and look
until I can't consume enough of the flesh and bone
to turn away.
