Love Endures

Love is warm,
loves is hot,
love is cold,
love is not
just gravy
and biscuits
sometimes it's
just plain
nasty
staring you
down
like a
plate of
anchovies
and fierce
like the
green
dark
jalapeño,
It is
a dog that
always
forgets
and
sometimes
it's the
elephant
that never
does
but it
never runs
from
strife's
windy
fire,
and hangs
on for
dear
life
when
nothing
is
cozy,
swinging
on a
rope
with one
hand,
stretched
to grab
yours
and pull
you out
as your
shoulders
and head
sink
down
in the
cold
wet
Sand
