Mustard Valentine

Pulling the blooming

mustard out

from the moist

loam you put

your hand in

that last moment

crumbly sweet-

smelling before you

disappear

completely

what came first

nothing or eternity

the blood pouring

out for which it

shapes its own

pale grail

or each morning

cautiously

contained?
