Pessoan Valentine

Maybe what happened to Pessoa
Is what happens to all of us in our way
We subdivide into several
Different personalities
Our prior lives return and overwhelm
Us in our grief leaving no room
For a new life of our own
He said he didn’t want one anyway
His life was spent recovering theirs
But it’s his biography we want
To hear and to re-live with him
All that nothing they were
Becoming something he is
