Love Big and Small
Duck! - shouted in fear
as a dust mote collides with the wall
leaving behind an unholy din and a
microscopic crater of fractured paint
You reach out clutching a star
and set it on my brow
dining at the far end of the Milky Way
planets floating by towing banners
selling time shares on Alpha Centauri
Swimming on the ocean floor
compressed to the size of atoms
shyly dressing in electrons just to
watch street lights swim past
followed closely by very large teeth
returning home a little tired
leaning against your chest
your arms cradling my breasts
we're glued to the couch watching
The Lord of the Rings again
in all our travels finding
the smallest thing in the world
is the desire to live for one another
but the largest thing is the heart
growing to the size of a sun
holding all the love we feel
as a dust mote collides with the wall
leaving behind an unholy din and a
microscopic crater of fractured paint
You reach out clutching a star
and set it on my brow
dining at the far end of the Milky Way
planets floating by towing banners
selling time shares on Alpha Centauri
Swimming on the ocean floor
compressed to the size of atoms
shyly dressing in electrons just to
watch street lights swim past
followed closely by very large teeth
returning home a little tired
leaning against your chest
your arms cradling my breasts
we're glued to the couch watching
The Lord of the Rings again
in all our travels finding
the smallest thing in the world
is the desire to live for one another
but the largest thing is the heart
growing to the size of a sun
holding all the love we feel
