Brother's Valentine

Dear brother the cover

Fra Angelico did this year

for your Christmas card

is lovely in a way we’ve

never been to one another

he’s getting better

gold and blue with

red in the center forming

a cup as if her bodice

and her waist which is odd

there’s another cup

in her right hand and

in her left her almost

standing baby in a pink

dress when things meant

different things than now

yours is always the first card

to come and I am such a shit

but if you follow their eyes

his as he offers a lily

to the past hers staring

down the future

isn't that you there

where they intersect?
