Oh grass lily, nap-at-noon

teacher

waving your white flag,

tender petals.

I read today that there are

ninety-six or

eighty or, well, at least

six translatable words for

love

Whatever it feels like to

cram hundreds of expressions

into one word

I can relate, I feel that way,

just trying to

say

My heart aches today.

How’s your heart?
