another love poem
i love you like the radioactive wolves of chernobyl
or an orgy of salmon
in the booming pacific,
i love you like the croaking pines
*
i love you like i am
a tiny crab
inside a cooked mussel,
i love you like the backward rivers of babylon
*
i love you like jay z
or a stinking
agapanthus,
i love you like the temples of malta
*
i love you like a tumble dryer
where i am turning with wet sheets
and loose change,
i love you like the the elegant wolves of milan
