Cloudy Valentine

Sneak through my life
subterranean lover
precious as a cloudy
day in the desert
though the report says
sunny it does not happen
as planned the end
I would have preferred
is overcast like this
and you can safely emerge
in the quieter world
of shadows and passages
like an envelope
tucked under an arm
warmed and held
wherever it arrives
it carries your scent.
