Forget bleeding-heart love.
It only tells you get to Africa
To feed a starving child.
Forget defiant love.
It only screams to shake Bashar until
He sees his brutal inhumanity.
It only screams to shake Bashar until
He sees his brutal inhumanity.
Forget love seated deep.
It only shows you the massive work
Still to be done.
Forget persistent love.
It only gnaws at you for all the times
You’ve failed.
Forget the Hallmark love.
It only lets you think
You’ve said enough.
Forget the love that’s called romance.
It only lasts as long as
Adolescent daydreams.
