Heart-Chip

My soulmate
is a kettle-cooked
backyard barbeque
potato chip
shaped like a heart,
showing up unexpectedly
and against all likelihood
of existing at all.
I'm enjoying the below
average activity
of eating chips
and watching Netflix
when there she is
upon my lips.
I see her before
she is eaten, destroyed.
Put her on my altar.
Overflowing with gratitude, joy
that she exists.
The miracle is always right now.
