Next Valentine

At the next crucifixion
Of the body of the earth
When the thieves on both sides are bad
 
When sloth defeats greed
When gluttony conquers lust
When envy corrupts pride
 
When its heart goes retrograde
Turning back upon itself
Watching its last blood fade
 
When the sun it serves
Enters the dark earth
Of what can never die
 
But must to be remade
When the body of its god
Into its soul is laid
