Lost Valentine

All my allusions
are to narratives
now lost to me
 
the allusion to
the final adventure
in _______ for example
 
or the allusion to
the first adventure
in ________ all lost to me
 
though I recall one
about a perilous pond
or a petulant ford

but the sources

though rather recent
are weak and scurrilous

and as I say are all
in any event
lost to me
