Half Valentine

Your body’s only half
Of what I love about you
The insistence of our senses
 
Of what we share in seeing
Speech and touch
In this dark world
 
The beauty of what’s left behind
Always arriving right on time
Memory is so porous
 
But some things rise to the surface
Once your other half
Appeared to me
 
And I could see
What I love in you
Gleaming eternal purpose
