Scorpio Valentine

A rod comes down
across the town
the chastening begins
stripes of frost
the sun can’t reach
at the far end of the lawn

and if the world takes it all back
and begs to be forgiven
and throws around itself
masses of huddled ice
wishes of muffled snow
to walk out on

like a mystic on a lake
through which a line sinks down
to the depths where certainty
is found eating its own frown
then this is also love methinks
make no mistake it breaks
