I've Been Thinking About Love Again

by Vievee Francis

Those who live to have it and those who live to give it.

Of course there are those for whom both are true, but never in the same measure.

Those who have it to give are like cardinals in the snow. So easy and beautifully lit. Some are rabbits. Hard to see except those who would prey upon them: all that softness and quaking and blood.

Those who want it cannot be satisfied. Eagle-eyed and with such talons, any furred thing will do. So easy to rip out a heart when it is throbbing so hard.

I wander out into the winter. I know what I am.

Clarity

Sorrow, O sorrow, moves like a loose flock of blackbirds sweeping over the metal roofs, over the birches,                      and the miles.      One wave after another, then another, then the sudden 

                                                            opening where the feathered swirl, illumined by dusk, parts to reveal  the weeping                       heart of all things.

"Clarity" - Vievee Francis

Sorrow, O sorrow, moves like a loose flock of blackbirds sweeping over the metal roofs, over the birches,                      and the miles.      One wave after another, then another, then the sudden 

                                                            opening where the feathered swirl, illumined by dusk, parts to reveal  the weeping                       heart of all things.

Vievee Francis - I’ve Been Thinking about Love Again

Those who live to have it and those who live to give it.

Of course there are those for whom both are true, but never in the same measure.

Those who have it to give are like cardinals in the snow. So easy and beautifully lit. Some are rabbits. Hard to see except for those who would prey upon them: all that softness and quaking and blood.

Those who want it cannot be satisfied. Eagle-eyed and such talons, any furred thing will do. So easy to rip out a heart when it is throbbing so hard.
