today, love is
a cold glass of water
and hot concrete walks
today, love includes shadow breaks
today, love is a letter,
reading on the curb,
the sky half blue
half imposing summer rain
today, love is
shedding magnolia flowers
twirling taffeta on the bricks
sunny thunder
today, love is ethereal
today, love is dreams are too real
today, love is
an empty house
a dead battery
a welcome draft.
