sketching the view
describing the smell
hearing the sound of your beating heart
all explained in an unequivocal sentence

The delicate breaking
of the fragile human soul,
which takes years to wear down,
and a few more to expose the break
can be described in half a page

The ability to fall in love
takes a second to maim
and takes a second more to embellish
all of this can be elucidated
in a single word- a single glance
