How can the heart commit
For one year?
How can you restart the engine
every 12 to 18 months?
When do you stop the car,
will it be on the road or in the garage,
under covers
under the covers
on this side of the world or the next?
How long can the heart keep pumping
rich, new love blood
before it gives out?
Will it give out at all,
and is your love infinite,
I can’t help but wonder.
