About Love
I’d rather write about love,
about my wife’s hand
taking mine for no good
reason except that yesterday
the world didn’t end,
and today feels as solid as
the earth’s first kings.
Corey Mesler has published 30 books of prose and poetry and appears in many anthologies, which is somewhat uncommon in Memphis, Tennessee, where, with his wife, he runs one of the oldest bookstores in America.
