Nervous Valentine

For a long time I was

confusing Giordano Bruno

with Brunetto Latini

Ingeborg Bachman with

Ingmar Bergman in

my final years of school

I was just starting over

on the study of nerves

thinking of different parts

of your body how they

differ to touch but each

a miracle ending in

a horse’s tail of sensations

our lungs more connected

to earth than to air

our nerves more to

memory than sense.
