To My Dear Occasion
“Discipline,” my partner said,
“Is the necessary content
Of a full life.”
Like the raw sun
Bored by the earth’s
Dazed circling?
Or the summer’s knuckles
Chafed against
The walls of Fall?
Or low-hanging fruit,
Without a second chance
Against indifference?
I will remind you,
My dear occasion,
That love has no
Routines.
