love in the time of borderline personality disorder

how to cradle a volcano
how to dance in the rain
how to hold the hand of your lover
as you watch her change

how to pick up glass
from  in between the cracks
of your dresser drawers

how to run loose in the street
how to put your pup to sleep
how to set your wild heart free
go and come back again

how to tame a feral horse
break it's spirit
with a spitting rage

how to clear the path of a tornado
how to swim from a sinking ship
how to kill a deer tick
carrying the weight of your lover's disease
