Candle for a Killer Valentine

If I passed you on the street
if I went to that school
if I knew you from the hood
if you were my student
if I knew your father
if you had been my son’s
friend or my son himself
if the death you brought
could be a signal from our
enemies ranged against us
greed anger delusion
those three poisons
if we could love our
children enough so
they could love too.
