Blue Valentine

If maybe these white clumpy clouds
are my hair I still have a chance

of avoiding late pattern balding
which makes the sky my brain

darkness seen through light
construed as blue

the glory of my brain
I see now has been outsourced
to those fixed stars at the edges

where the real thinking gets done
then translated down the line

through endless ages
felt as some desire

with less and less cogency
less and less style

until finally I move my hand
or yours reaches mine.
