Border Valentine

Maybe these
intimately distant
relationships are all
we’ll be allowed
to manage this time
but somewhere
near the border
in some Mexican bar
I killed an accordion
while leaving the
accordion player
completely unharmed
is there a PETA for
musical instruments
or machines sledge-
hammered I thirsted
for Morton Feldman
but could remain
calm for hours days
only alive thanks to
the ocean Mahler
and you.
