Love only knocks once.
Maybe she can be scouted-
out thereafter, sought and
captured tearfully, like a dog
reunited with the master
whom he'd thought was dead--but
she only knocks once, and then,
I think, gives up. The universe
gives up. I cannot will love back to me.

Love only knocks once.

gives up. I cannot will love back to me.
