Adventures in Love

A Three Piece Suit

I.

I now know what is meant by, "falling in love."

3000 feet until the antigravity kicks on,

The warmth of a subatomic connection between two people,

And the quick dizzy spell of elation coloring perceptions and numbing the body.

II.

I now know what is meant by feeling, "broken."

The dump heap of aching,

And the inaudible frequency of a whimpering heart.

Bones turn to jello, mind in the deep slumber of a dark hurricane.

III.

I now know what is meant by, "picking up the pieces."

You collect them, from under your bed,

From the cracks in your head,

From starlight and from rear view mirrors.

-The parcels lost in love.
