Lost Key Valentine

Poetry is the first place
words should go to find
and revisit their feelings
the extra key to the car
hidden in the secret drawer
when you’re locked out
of the exuberant emptiness
of morning like a machine
that’s been shut down
do we think of us that way
poetry is the first place
the I of each of us can go
after a coffee and stagger
back from all there is to this
