before naming: a warmth with no edges
before naming: two cells deciding not to drift apart
then: someone needed a sound for "stay"

rounds into an "oh," bites softly on the lip,
exhales — the whole act of love
rehearsed in miniature, every time you say it)

### vi. taxonomy of small loves (field notes)
Species: love, domesticus
— found in: shared umbrellas, the last bite offered without being asked,
a name said correctly on the first try, leftovers saved "just in case,"
the specific silence of someone reading beside you
Species: love, migratory
— appears seasonally: at airports, in unread texts that say "landed safely,"
in the ache of a t-shirt that still smells like somewhere else
Species: love, fossilized
— found in: old letters, a ring in a drawer, a name you don't say anymore
but still feel the shape of in your mouth
```
---
### vii. logographic seance
the Chinese character for "listen" — 聽 —
contains 耳 (ear) + 心 (heart) + 十 (ten) + 一 (one) + 目 (eye)
to truly listen
you need:
one ear
one heart
ten eyes
undivided attention
love, it turns out, was always
just a more complete way
of listening

### x. closure that isn't, because love doesn't do endings well
they say every poem about love
is secretly a poem about time —
how little of it there is,
how much we waste pretending
otherwise.
so here, plainly,
without ornament:
i noticed you.
i kept noticing.
i will keep
noticing,
tense be damned —
present.
present.
present.
