Returning Valentine

I overlooked everything first
And then came back
To read it all again
 
I was so ashamed
But it was raining here
So I went to get the big bucket
 
And soon so much resignation
Filled it to overflowing
I wanted to read it all again
 
All those accumulating epiphanies
And the symphonic mood
Of rising death
 
Like meringue or the foam
On a lover’s
Or beggar’s mouth
