Barbie's Valentine

If I had known

love more as

an object and less

as the thinly-

disguised subject

of my life would I

not accept only the

work I set myself

and be a free face

gently gliding out

onto Southern Avenue

I can hear the birds

loudly protesting

the sun going down

the sky all tourmaline

and tragic

your eyes two garnets

in the darkness turning

to undress me.
