Biographical Valentine

First I had to scratch my toes
then I had to pull a hair
from my nose then I started
sneezing and bleeding
like a scene from a Pollack painting
white walls delicately spattered
with blood and snot
after all the vagaries of art
edited with soap and water
we stood together in the shower
I just wanted to hold and hold you
but lovemaking got in the way
always lovemaking got in the way
