Where Does Love Come From
It is not concrete.
Seemingly intangible.
Unlike elegant china from the cabinet,
dusted off and gently placed on
the heirloom tablecloth,
starched, unfolded linen napkins,
spesh and saved for holidays.
Not like the wedding band
dressing the ring finger, glorifying
vows of loyalty, faithfulness, and fidelity.
Unlike those symbols and physical tokens
of affection - ticket stubs commemorating first concerts,
locks of hair, ribbons from opened presents,
photos of birthdays, anniversaries and shared memories.
