-Love is a bottle
unopened
-No, love is a skein
unwound
-Love is a portrait
unpainted
-No, love is a road
newly paved
-Love is a rushing
of blood
-No, love is talking
in tongues

Thanks, Sam Rasnake and Michelle Elvy!
"The Concord of This Discord" appears in THE VIG OF LOVE (Glass Lyre Press, 2016).
Love is how I feel about this. No, love is how I feel about the surprise of skein. *
The see-sawing lines are quiet, thoughtful and wise. *
No, I don't think you've got it yet. (Just kidding.) Fav.
a splendid dialogue.
Thanks, Ann, Pia, Jake, and Gary. Great comments.
This and much, much more. Especially "talking in tongues". *
All those possibilities, and more. Admire this compact thing that makes me feel so full.
Big *, yes!
Thank you, Charlotte and Michelle!
