Love Poem
You are the music of two grasshoppers making love in a school yard where four-year-olds ask me, what are the grasshoppers doing? and I tell them they’re dancing to the music of You are the gaps in my ribcage where the sunrise winds through to my heart and You are the part of the sunset that is so pink the grasshoppers think maybe we should stop and watch You are the moon when it bloomed for the...
