The Some of it All

If she loves all
and I simply love some
then it makes infinitely more sense
to place her name alongside yours in
this equation.

The things I do not love-
The incomprehensible silence in which I have no part
The shared disliked for practical things
Count against me like so many negative numbers.

But the depth with which I love
the sleepy rims of your inscrutable eyes
and the way your calm mind anchors my chaotic space
The sum of this all.

Might not this be calculated in a way that tips the
balance of your heart to me?
