love is all oxytocin

 love is all oxytocin 


poetry tries to deny

that love is all oxytocin 

pivotal upon the reaction potential

the comparing of pheromones 

for the fitness for this life

colouring the absurdity of

copulation with the feedback of lust

which is itself the positive feedback of oxytocin 

the autonomic manifestation of those feelings

that poetry claims for its own

are at the burning of all that is left

the ashes of self-loathing

that belief was total

and totally wrong

if poetry has not corrupted you
