| Once I thought I was in love | |
| But that was a mistake | |
| For it was a warm feeling | |
| Wrapped around me like a shawl | |
| Learn to love the corners | |
| And the angles of the world | |
| To not love them you'll never live | |
| The only peace is death. | |
| Love isn't a glow or a song in the heart | |
| It's bony fingers tugging through your hair | |
| It's sharp hipbones bruising blue your thigh | |
| It's saying something softly that goes unheard. | |
| Love snarls up the patterns | |
| Of everything you know | |
| It doesn't send you off to space | |
| But buries you instead | |
| Love holds on to gravity | |
| And gravity is love | |
| To love another human is | |
| A puzzle for the head. |
