War Vigil Valentine

In their crosshairs

as a born-again nation

vast and illiterate

they talk all day

rubbing their huge

cold mandibles

under their desks

or cloaks collaborating

is this the best we can do

you call this an arms race

he went to Europe and found

twelve iron chairs he re-painted

in the colors of several mornings

and sold for a small fortune here

the form as delayed movement

as decay the power behind

free movement slowly you actually

think it through

thinking as loving

refusing to be glamored

or unduly unenamoured.
