Enmity is Easier than Love

Enmity is easier than love –

until you lose the taste for it –

and find it easy to replace

with curiosity and humor

and bewilderment and awe,

which prod a law of wonder:

a sort of thunder in the heart

some label gratitude –

a mystic longitude and latitude

which rise like Delphic vapors

from below and float about,

around and down like sunlight

from above. Then you find

that nothing’s easier than love.
