There is
one feeling
that all
creatures understand
to learn
this listen
to children
laugh or
watch dogs
wag or
taste that
one long
awaited favorite
dish this
one simplest
emotion of
all is
just joy

If I must
do but one
thing for the
rest of life
let it be
love and if
also for eternity
let it also
be to love
for there’s nothing
truer to do
NowNot
The longer
I go
without them
the easier
it is
to go
are love
and sex
really just
such folly
that simply
going without
hurts less
than having
have had
now not
Sadly
This thing
this thing
I am
just like
that thing
that thing
you are
means little
to anyone
to anyone
at all
OneThenTheOther
And now where
I am versus
where I was
a year ago
is nothing short
of life and
death of purgatory
and of Heaven
just that dramatic
my life it
seems is one
of various extremes
in love then
longing in despair
then content around
others then alone
near to nothing
and then whole
these extremes have
forged the steel
that I am
just like fire
and water do
to raw iron
