Yesterday's Valentine

We lose so much
of ourselves
and valuable energy
having to check
everything out
unable to trust much
our own species
most days dog’s BFF
if not our own
best enemies
forced as we are
by angry gods to fight
their battles for them
to go on pretending
this world this life
this darkness isn’t
as naked as a jay-bird
to us all in the end
