WHAT LOVE ISN'T by Yrsa Daley-Ward 2014
[1] It is not a five star stay. It is not
[2] compliments and it is never ever
[3] flattery.
[4] It is solid. Not sweet but always
[5] nutritious
[6] always herb, always salt. Sometimes
[7] grit.
[8] It is now and till the end. It is never a
[9] slither, never a little
[10] it is a full serving
[11] it is much
[12] too much and real
[13] never pretty or clean. It stinks — you can
[14] smell it coming
[15] it is weight
[16] it is weight and it is too heavy to feel
[17] good sometimes. It is discomfort — it is
[18] not what the films say. Only songs
[19] get it right
[20] it is irregular
[21] it is difficult
[22] and always, always
[23] surprising.
