A Kind Of Happiness

do not define it
do not defend it
do not attempt to prevent it
i comes
unexpectedly, and goes beyond plans,
no stars draw a map
to where it can be found

an evening talk, an
early frost, it comes surprisingly
even on mornings
when you take
breakfast alone, it is sexless,

it assumes a face
the moment you see it
inside your heart
or on the highway on evergreen Volkswagen.
