Last Valentine

A leaf clings to
me like your hand
curled on my forearm
what can be said
on the last page
of a hundred page book
knowing you’d look
on the last page first
to see if this all
comes out in a way
you’d never guess
and so must read
it all to find out why
it’s not that kind
of novel is it where
reality has its way
with us yet somehow
we narrowly escape.
