Rising Valentine

On the first sunny day

after the full moon

after the third Thursday

following that last time

you climbed the tombalo

nearer your home town

stepping into the thick air

of windswept paintings

of this island where

a cache of gold lies

panting under a chapel

of stone still glittering

up at you through sand

your life rises to meet you

almost again and again.
