The Day Before Valentine

The day before the attack
was a lovely sunny day
though we could hear the storm
not far away somehow we forgot
about it the sun seemed lovelier
by the hour we were lost in our work
or power or playing with the bodies
of others but the storm was growing
huger by the hour a small flock
of mourning doves nesting in the tower
took off there were signs and wonders
but the night was even lovelier than the day
the storm seemed even further away
