THIS IS HOW I UNDERSTAND I LOVE

This is how i understand love:

When the crisp and hollow wailing of our neighbor

In front of her dead son

Lost its consonants and the trail of

Vowels seems to me the last echo

In her womb.


this is how understand love:

When the moon continues to guide lovers

And murderers with an impartial light, even if Euclid’s

Disciples shamed her to becoming

A pockmarked rock floating on

Newton’s head.


this is how i understand love:

When I sit on an empty blue bench,

And no one sits with me, save my

Shadow and an echo of vowels ringing

In my ears.
