Ostrich

I bury my head

in the sand of your shoulder 

and cry. 
the kind of cry a broken girl

cries over a broken boy

who has more good than bad

in his lungs.
love isn't hard

bitter

cold and

dead.
love isn't

pain

suffering

tears and anger.  

love is

easy

sweet.
a Sunday supper that

dances in the kitchen and

calls me by my name. 

love of mine, you say.
sweet love of mine.
