Love, when mingled with doubt, runs much quicker,
\nAnd despair rivals delight at each turn.
\nThe sudden bled juices of early May
\nAdd thrills to life. Such persuasive liquor,
\nWhen dried on the wick, primes it to burn.
\nSomething tugs night up like a sheet from day.
\nBacchus, with a six-pack, comes for Sibyl,
\nAnd the hermit misses the city’s strife.
\nWe blank out one future each time we decide.
\nThe fulcrum of time demands so little:
\nOnly that we give some portion of life
\nTo love, or surely we have already died.
\nDeath balances love on scales; goes up, then
\nWhat raises it pulls it back down again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
