DRESSING DOWN FOR LOVE
Put on your love dress
take off your other garments
the ones that cost you most.
Wear your heart out.
Become a transvestite
for love. Dress as a heart.
Establish a municipality
with eyes you meet on the street.
Enter the election for darling.
Let kindness reign. Put on
no airs. Be plain as feet
which can also carry you away
along the love highway.
Hello. What is your name?

Joan – your poem says so much – I will read it again. The jar of hearts is an apt, rich, interesting visual to accompany. Nice to have this to read before I start my day’s tasks.
