What Is Love?

To wake up to a new reality

you didn’t know exited before.

To look fear in the eyes.

To raid a whole bag of crisps

while gazing at an empty reality show,

then wipe guilt with fatty, salty fingers

and giggle to yourself in full joy.

To hug the shards of wounded heart,

release them from the guard

that gives them space

so long as they grow,

or tell you something reasonable for repeated questions: “why?!”

To devour a peach—

Juices flow on open lips,

eyes closed,

and nothing within you

holds back.

What is love? —It’s to answer in a thousand and one ways,

and still go around the sun

searching for more,

and discover

how each inhale

gives another chance

for another one.

Want to fall in love with yourself, your life, even your past?
