Desperate Valentine

Being in a body
is like being at the bottom
of a mineshaft or a well
where you can just see
the circle the stars
and the sun carve
down past bedrock
imagine how important
we must be to be sent
on such a desperate mission
I say to the dark fire
at the center of myself
the original buried injury
for which the healing
is this earth
