1018: Cuffing Season

Today’s poem is Cuffing Season by Lisa Fay Coutley.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Love is a force that reconciles what is, in contradistinction, wrong in the world. Because I know that love is real, and that love is right. But sometimes finding love is a journey that takes longer than some but is worth it. Today’s poem wrestles with the tentativeness by which relationships are pursued, given the scariness of their potential outcomes.”
