Holy Saturday Valentine

Let each man be his own religion
reverence openly her own true gods
or those things in the masks whatever
is feared as greater
to be so honored.

Reading and hearing
about their oddly familiar
stations his reenactment
of what can’t be reenacted
yet blooms as red roses.

Now the vine
every leaf eaten
its skin peeled away
veins just emptied
offers you its heart.
