Snow melting off roof,
that slow joyous drip
of icicles melting
on Valentine’s Day
when lovers celebrate reunion
as snow and light unite
to produce the liquid symbol
of love’s element:
its flexible reaction,
its buoyant resistance,
its communal unity of molecules
that course through
our hearts and heads
reminding us of wonder
in the moisture of a kiss.
