Point’s Valentine

I have whittled happiness down
to a fine point
an arrow’s or a sword’s perspective
on the scalp
of sorrow bending it a little
to pry it
loose and let it ring hollow
as it must
I have entered all the numbers and
miscalculations
adding nothing in its favor
I have whittled
happiness down to a fare-thee-well
but it still won’t waver
