Permanent Christmas Valentine

Let’s leave all the lights up
on the houses this year
you never know when Christmas
might strike again
the gifts wear out anyway by July
right on time for the Christ-
Child’s second birthday
just this morning a single
blue morning glory bloomed
in an inside pot
in an improbable blond light
you know its life’s a solitary day
so I sat up with it till it was gone
folded like a prayer
