If this is love, then love is selfish,
for to dress you up, to cook for you,
to pour you wine, to clear the table,
to wash the dishes, to sing you songs,
to spritz perfume, to strip you down,
to lay you gently on the couch
and play you like a Jew's harp
then lie down on the floor next to you
and talk and listen to you talk
and talk again, regarding
your voice's music in the dim light,
your face's softness in the musk of sweat
and perfume -- that's enough for me.
