Equal Valentine

The tree is rent diagonally
half in darkness half
in moonlight by the roof
itself sliced down the middle
by moonlight on the east
darkness on the west
like a woman sliced in half
in a magic show she’s black
and spectral gray she’s an ear
that’s always listening
in the night and in the day
an old woman’s ear worn off
by her daughter’s amazing talk
