Visitor’s Valentine

Venus comes for a visit
Stays for a day or two
We talk about rue
 
Over supper we shoot the shit
Come to no conclusions about you
The things we used to do
 
We stay up late for the laughter
While she straightens the stars
I clear the dishes
 
Freed from the soul’s confusions
Then comes the tender moment
When she confesses her incompleteness
 
Crying together in my arms
Still just a skinny brown girl
With so much love to make
