Well Valentine

Happiness is always nostalgic
always creates a slight
disturbance in the second
half of the surprise when
it returns to ask for your assistance
don’t hesitate to feel irreplaceable
that’s how I think of you
rest first when you can’t most
save yourself for me
to drown you later
to come right up to the edge
of that deep well of happiness
and stare right in or jump
maybe jump right in.
