Happy People

Happy people don’t write poetry —
they write “I love you’s” in the margins of a book,
lie in the fields tracing the cloud shapes,
find hearts in places no one dares to look.

Happy people do not care about rhyme —
they let their free verse fall from laugh-stained lips.
And I’m collecting slant-rhymed endings,
Blue ink to skin instead of fingertips.
