Writing a Love Poem

Sometimes it is a thing
you set out to do
walking--
the right of way
in some forgotten land.

Sometimes it is a thing
given--
mementos
one, two and three
and then the good-bye.

Today it is a thing
floating--
the motes of dust
in the space between us.

Tomorrow it is
released
an exhalation--
mantra or chant--
less than
yesterday, more
than tomorrow.
