No Accident

I know that that
“I love you”
was no accident
or force of habit.

but what of love
hidden under sewer grates
and flown tied onto ankles
of carrier pigeons?

love like blades
lurking beneath cloudy water
ready to butterfly
those who dare wash up

this love or less
more or less
painful than before
a dutiful, beautiful mess.
