drawing love
when I was six
I drew love
like it was easy
two stick people
smiling up from their home
on a piece of construction paper
little lines meant
for little arms connected
to show they were holding hands
a crooked red heart
carefully shaded above their heads
because love was always red
when I was four
I drew love
like it really was
just the crooked heart
heavy red marks
bursting out of the lines
