what does it mean to love?

For the sake of the other
to one's self upkeep

by the other's doing
to slumber and lose sleep

to dig to the surface
of what one's self least scratch

to the soul of the other
incongruously match


To wound and to pain
through laughter and pleasure

to leave it to abandon
with every mean and measure

To love is to polish
with patience and tenacity
that tarnish that grows
on the other's assumed reciprocity
