Little Valentine

When I visited the ancient library
Down the street in Ephesus
All the books had been checked out
 
Only the thin pamphlet of a boy
Standing on a fallen stone
Staring crowds where stairs had been
 
To the floors above in the air
Where the lost books were kept
Bearing the secret past
 
All we have is the shattered house
Where the first thoughts
Gathered together in a horde of feeling
 
So when you entered and sat
In the darkness of all that knowledge
A little light would be brought to you to read
