Nameless Valentine

At twilight I steal

into other people’s heads

look around for a while

sometimes they know me

know I’m there and can

remember me after

I leave like the dead

who are friendly and

relieved not to have to

hide the truth anymore

others who live among roots

molds and broken stones

who carry water all day

nameless and short-lived

churls trolls louts and oafs

who push the stems up into

the light they themselves

are forbidden to enter.
