'will love hold' - after photo by poet Vladimir Lucien







Will love hold, tight-roped between tears

Certain of storm, not wanting loss

 

Howling to horizon’s abyss, heaving from despair?

Will love hold, memoried to casual harbours—

 

And we were happy for a while, and forgot

Tomorrow coming, and coordinates we couldn’t
 
                                share?

 

Will love hold, when all is broken

And merciful tides of amnesia

cradle us till we wake?
