o ARTISTA do dia - James L. Orwin
Love Will Keep
Love will keep,
the way lettuce will keep
in a fridge.
You want it.
You chose it.
Gradually you see less often
into the salad box,
beneath the yoghurts
and double cream;
far below the tins of pink fish,
the bottles of red wine.
I will warn you:
when you look you will not find
what you left.
After all,
a lettuce is simply water
beautifully structured.
Now tell me:
what is love?
