Love Is All


Love is all 
And it's nothing

Wind falls
And waterfalls

And O nothing,
Nothing.

Logic cannot
Overcome

Its constellations
Its contradictions.

Its fevers
Sins and lures.

Rather let its lyres
Bandy about

Act out -
Hopes absurd.

Ill contains
Love's violent wind

As amasses, quags
Bewilders and aspires.

Rather twin and spin
The mortal din

Let its tenderness
Awe and plot

Lead astray
Desire, dismay

Cavort and pray
Pettish and breathless --

Rake up
The sock.

And spin
The mortal lock.
