Mani's Valentine

Today I turned to Mani for help
he of the Manicheans
whose name means the jewel
who was flayed alive
by those who came to believe
killing someone ends their life
forgetting their home with the gods
just an idea among ideas
among streets and bridges
how can we still not speak
to one another as light
to light still not know
ourselves as children
of the sun and moon
