Annehattan is a Generous Space

I live in Annehattan in a generous space

That space between breaths

That space before taking a sip of tea

That space between the curb and the pavement 

That space between poems and poets at a reading

That space between a letter and a line break

That space between chairs in the parish hall

The space opened by the wake of her scarf
