is after-thought,
love is a footnote
passed over,
one feels.
but no,
love is never foot-noted
only people are;
and footnotable people
are like necessary referents;
they exist
in periphery
as mild adjunct
to a thesis about other things.

Footnote to a heart-thesis
And when heart
is after-thought,
love is a footnote
passed over,
one feels.
but no,
love is never foot-noted
only people are;
and footnotable people
are like necessary referents;
they exist
in periphery
as mild adjunct
to a thesis about other things.
[From the collection 'Some texts are made of leaves', shortlisted for the Gratiaen Award 2011]
is after-thought,
love is a footnote
passed over,
one feels.
but no,
love is never foot-noted
only people are;
and footnotable people
are like necessary referents;
they exist
in periphery
as mild adjunct
to a thesis about other things.
