romanza largo

in this context, horses must be called steeds
scary things are dangerous perils
pain means one is in distress
being helped is being saved
(despite insurmountable odds)

somehow, our hearts deserve such grandiose
somehow, love grows the importance of antiquated
elevated
terms
reserved for cathedrals
medievals
and holy

substantially, vintage means patience
firm respect for one’s craft
unhurried juices fermenting in so rare a pace
hours on hours enlivening flavor;
gathering scars of character by and
bygone eras releasing their cultural clout as
love
stands
on.

relevance is measured in these years
everyone knows it.
and we only reach the unfortunate height
of an elephant’s sight
when classic divorces creative
