THERE ARE NO EAGLES OR MOUNTAINS

The weight or a weapon – which is it?
Love Can Move Mountains but Love is
dirty and heavy and comes
with complications not covered in
Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong.

There are no eagles or mountains
in Love.

There are soft, unwashed bodies draped haphazardly
in flannel sheets whispering bitter
somethings in harsh consonants and lazy,
drawn out syllables and they are just
words that sound important but mean
less than a quiet kiss given out of Guilt.

Guilt is heavy.
Guilt is a weight.
Guilt is the weapon you use
to encourage Love.
