Of love complete
that can never
be whole, of love
in promise that is
sometime broken,
of love that is faithful
and faithless together,
of love that reassures
but is filled with confusion.

The major chord and
the diminished,
harmony and discord
in a lover’s jealous embrace,
all fit in love’s generous
and terrifying sympathy that
tells an unfinished human story.
