when we are together
there is that sense
that there is nothing else
the moment we have
is the only moment there is
there is no one at the bar
drinking gin and tonics
smoking nine cigarettes
for me there is not
another person
unless there is
and then i don't
notice them
it's not emotion
it is more the buddhist
of no is or am
but the fact that we are
it doesn't seem like love
there seems like all there is
when i say
i love you
it seems rhetorical
as if it always was
always will be
. . . no need
to point out just
one second of it
before there was
an owls head and
once it is gone
there is the love
of you
GOOD WORK
