Flayed Valentine

In order to enjoin again
this swoon of butterflies
every day in my yard I’m forced
to watch the flaying
inch by inch of my passion
vine with all its zany
pin-wheel flowers
white and purple
who thinks of this
but finally the caterpillars
play it inescapably sad
and sincere
like a last lover
devouring you
in a city of murderers.
