Parzival Valentine

In words first worked out aloud
before they were ever written down
by an illiterate but wise
singer of tragic love songs
comes the story of Parzival
an eager young boy with little
gratitude or good sense
both cursed and blessed
who wandered middle Europe
middle-aged in the Middle Ages
looking for a magic castle
he had spent one night in
and the strange things he saw there
now he was older and full of questions
