Returning Valentine

The arrival of the blood summer
In the brown-eyed fall
Finally convinced us of it all
 
All we could agree on
There was a child to feed
The wailing winter come
 
For such dreamless sleep
We thought she’d died
Wrapped in her starry blanket
 
Years borne like children
Who eagerly leave home
Some never heard from again
 
But one who returned
Unburdened and uncrowned
When you were found
