Solstice Valentine

Often very deftly the good
thing is brought forward
despite the tyrannical out-pourings
though it looks like death
blood dripping from his head
OK someone says I’ll die for that
and promptly shows us how
the world’s a traveling coliseum
with its vast underground chambers
its silent mechanisms lifting the lions
and the saints at opposite ends
of a beautiful Saturday afternoon
how many times have I died already
just trying to reassure you yes
in the end the evil one dies
