Human Valentine

In this our human time
having once been rubies
asparagus and dragons
having learned to think of others
if not how to love them yet.

You were always my password
what identity could they steal
or should I ask which we were
so many crowded into
one small soul.

Until you arrived
thin cloud of sunlight
thinking yourself up
a new language
for reviving the dead.
