Illusory Valentine

If you stand facing south
with your arms at your sides
and slowly lift your left arm
like the light coming up
through eight and nine and ten o’clock
until it’s straight up at noon
and then with your right arm up
and the light slowly falling
through two and three and five o’clock
down to midnight at your side
you have followed the path
of the sun around the earth
you have followed the appearance
of things and thereby completely
though it feels good
lost your way
