Spot the difference
i. In Love
Brightly polished counter top refracts
bon bon promises
larger than eyes should stuff
into a rumbling belly
but it tastes like pixie dust
going up, up, up
until you’ve forgotten the ground
ii. Love is
the cool kiss of ceramic tiles
the solid porcelain comfort
of knowing
whatever must be purged
will be flushed away with only a trace
of ocean-scented blue
the shh that knows
you shouldn’t have
but doesn’t say it
the crushed grass
that cushioned your fall
