The shortest, most sentimental thing I've ever written, which I just discovered in an old word file...
And we reach
for the last
thing available
and what is
available is love.
That could almost be on Nick Piombino's blog... well, I'll resist the urge to delete it because I've already deleted it from the word file whence it sprang... sprang rhythm, get it?... not to mention a certain affection for the double "is"s in the last two lines, which force a reread -- c'mon, be honest, you read it twice, right? Just to get a better sense of the cadence? Gotcha.

Love
the only subject
the rest
requiring form.
Or something like that. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't completely eradicate "Short Poem" from your oovrah. Is it sentimental? Or is it ("merely" emotionally) honest?
