“Deal of the Week” is an updated take on the horoscope column. Bad advice, worse poetry, every Monday.

Intoxicating and sweet you drink deep from love’s chalice, unburdened by the darkness of complexity. It is simple and it is steep, a sheer cliff dusted in sugar crystals, hugging gently and pressing your soft spots. Entering someone else’s body and soul begins with eye contact. Melt below the surface, allow the law to slacken with your knees and fill your heart. You deserve love, and you are capable.
