After-life Valentine

First the coarsest
lusts are peeled
away to reveal
a veneer of woes
 
as one longing
after another
abandons you it gets
easier to let them go
 
so much to relinquish
every pleasure every pain
until even the idea of
relinquishment flows away
 
until by the end
only what you really are
is left
