Nameless Valentine

As if I was enough
to take care of things
not have things
take care of me
three years ago I
turned the cactus
to its other side
would you believe
it’s just now
starting to notice
like that pause before
you look back
to take in what’s there
a slap for each cheek
or the nameless one
the he it she the second self
at the center of your life.
