What?
What is Love?
Who?
Who are we?
When?
When do we begin?
How?
How can we sing
Together?
Aren’t we?
Aren’t we all bound
By ties of dancing light
In this fantasy
Built for practice,
A training ground
Where hearts:
They become real.

What is Love?
Who are we?
How shall we
Live together
happily?
I’m wondering
I’m fading.

…..

What is Love?
Long time gone, long time lost.
Long legs tossing beast across
Cityscapes, meadowlands
Seascapades, desert dunes.
Giant drumleg thighs churn,
Throwing eggy body far
Spinning razor fingertips
Scuttle library dome
Blender rolling park:
Tree limbs split human limbs.
All creation buckle-bends
Time and space and reason too.

….

What is Love?

Can you tell me, or do you know?
What is Love, and where’s it go
With arm tense and heart closed,
When famine squeezes soul.

What is Love?

Can you show me, or do you care
When I falter, stop and stare
At the carcass on the road
Shrivelled small, dried up toad.

What is Love?

Can you help me, or do you hear
That I’m screaming shook in fear
Even though the sunshine lights
Redbrick row and seagull flight.

What is Love, anyway?
