making

love

is a

fascinating

euphemism

that implies

a recipe

see

grandmas

card file

visit

a bookstore

how to

section

go on line

chefs

abound

maybe

making

love

is

sitting at

a hospital

bedside

throughout

long nights

cheering

for a team

that remains

winless

going to work

at a miserable

daily job

to feed

a family

standing by

someone

when

a church

humiliates

them

falling for

with a

tornado

of passion

then perhaps

enduring

heartbreak

making

love

is

the lonely

decision

of when

to stay

and when

to walk

away

experiencing

the joy

routine

dark valleys

of living

among other

human beings

as one

of their kind

never turning

them into

gods or trash

remembering

that all of us

come and go

so touching

everything

gently

since soon

or late

we will

part

and

the price

of making

love is

the sadness

of saying

goodbye
