vulgar: (her name is anyone)

vulgar: (her name is anyone)

	
she had a tattoo just below her belly:
it was a dictionary definition that read:
“a strong, positive emotion of love,
regard, and affection. (an antonym of hate)”

those were the letters inked just above 
her sparsest patch of hair,
and etched deeper over her heart.

she had a tattoo just below her belly.
which made me weary 
to bring my love home.
it was just a sentence i already knew,
but it still made me weary,
to take away what i knew meant more.

…all she asks is you know that definition
before you follow that trail in;
she doesn’t ask if you believe it or not, 
but it is clear she wishes you acknowledge it
before you follow that trail in.

because penetration is more penetrating
when love is left undefined…
