Love Without Weight

It suddenly matters

that the single hoofprint of a deer is vaguely heart-shaped.

The impression remains on the open earth,

untouched by wind.

Having collected last night’s rainwater,

the print reflects in an upturned way

and captures the sun loving itself

in a manner that most of us do not love ourselves.
