Long Marriage Valentine

Suddenly after years
of never thinking about you
you show up that stinging
in the throat my eyes
combing you.

Is it the dog’s mournful barking
makes it colder tonight
how love is fear
to reverence so itself
in overcoming fear.

As if to think so
were two molecules
animating themselves
each so sure he’ll leave you
you help him pack.
