Vestigial Valentine

How many mistakes a day
do we spend in fear of
something we want being
jeopardized or broken
from us though we keep
our hypervigilance as sharp
as cactus needles never more
clearly than in pleasure’s
clasp and tear we seek
a vestige of our former powers
to be in search of what we
find and found of someone
even more mysterious and fine
than we alone could be or find
