Antiques Valentine

Old furniture

is more valuable

than old people

fine art

is more precious

than children

all this was yours

but you pretended

to refuse it

I wish I could be

in the here and now

not lost in reverie of it

the flourish or

the grimace

all we know we’ve

had to think about first

not memory but

knowledge of

you first.
