please believe in love,
but have the respect to not
speak of it lightly

when we are defined
more by our hate than our love,
everything shrinks

whoever will wield
the wisdom of Solomon,
instead of the sword.

I’ll take the credit
except when things fall apart;
then I’ll give it back.

where hope’s fallen through
are some of the best reasons
for starting anew.
