Character's Valentine

Isn’t being in love
a last-gasp effort
to restore one’s childhood’s
level of trust in angels
where want and will
share the same bed
as they still do in German
for all real love is
childlike in character
only children can look
at God or anything directly
before all that fades
and to be free as that
we may still want
but to think we have it
now because we have
the word for it
is a great deceit
