Something of the Four Letter Word

Love can be quiet,
even in urgency.
I hankered for capers tonight,
and the juice that came
in its narrow, cylinder glass. 

Can passion 
be quiet too? 
Or is it innately 
impatient, 
and loudly 
disquieting?  


Please rate and rank 
my poem for slim 
and thinking readers, 
and let me laugh, 
disquietly.
