Red-Headed Valentine

Last night in a dream
I slept with a red-headed beauty
I was amazed but happy
someone so lovable
was loving me again
with joy and pleasure
as old as I am but how
many scraps from our bodies
pieces of flesh torn away
will we have to leave behind
to be able to wake up
on the other side
without fear or shame
in the very bodies after all
that taught us how to love?
