Bhagavad Valentine

As we well know no one
is in anyone else’s exact same
position in space and time
this is how he would talk to me
mild-tempered as a summer annual
and we would sit through centuries
how can you live with just
an afternoon as your friend
I would lob that back at him
I say him but I mean layers
and layers of identical faces
like skulls or ranks of angels
each glowing like a son of a gun
and coming straight at me
