Stubborn Love

by

Michael H. Nguyen

 

He asked me

            how could I     still

                                    after all this time

 

we sat              with cold coffee

                        in our perspiring hands

 

I’d say

            it ain’t hard

            it’s love

                       stubborn love

but love all the same

 

from above the sun sits

         staring below

 

            lettin us know

the way we live the way we love

            our boilin blood

            baked crisp from the summer sun

                        was all alright

           

                        but its been over ten years

                        things change                don’t they

 

I think                           secretly

the situations we live by

our standards                our meager way of life

            nah       they don’t change

            not so much as we often think

 

we’re rooted               

            buried deep under

            shades  of burnt sienna

it stains the souls of our feet

 

                                                so

                       

we take it a day at a time

            with our stubborn love

                        we’ll have rain

            not now maybe

                    but maybe in seven months’ time
