I sent the link to "Love's too Familiar a Word" to a friend who's a poet. He wondered if you could clarify the last stanza
"know it's lonely in the world tonight
because here is more than what's deserved
and the imbalance can't be summed in black and white
because love's too familiar a word. "
His take? There was an imbalance between the two people in the poem, not between the couple and the world. I believe it's the latter.
There's no bet going here, just curious.
Thanks.
