Question
Can two nations
fall in love?
Sparrow’s Eight Love Poems ran in The Sun in June, 2007.
Love
Love is the first word
’t say to everyone.
A Phrase One Never Hears
“My lover and I are doing our taxes.”
Sunlight
Sunlight
loves to fall
on a bed.
Two Professors
When two professors
fall in love,
their students rejoice.
Named
We are all named
out of love — for
an uncle, a cousin,
a dead violinist.
Often we forget
the love in our names.
The Moon
The moon loves
snow, because
it reflects.
Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments
do not
mention love.
