Jesse Saldivar
He said,
I feel so loved around youSo that must mean I love him.
How true,
that must be
if even I cannot see
our course we run –
inches make the love-journey!
In this country culture we endure
the othering of love –
The tongue that tastes true-love
discerns the gaslight
I shout theater! I shout
love is out there.
