Incense Valentine

What is as pathless as sorrow
as roofless as light –
two leftover lines
from last night

to deal with in the morning
so I imagined commercials
for home thuribles
to bless the whole house

once a month it would
soon catch on with juniper
frankincense and myrrh
to drive away the dragons

praise the spaces
where we eat and dream
the walls that hold us
day and night

praise the corners
where nothing is
the fragrance settling
where the light first comes
