Windy Valentine

What if your lovely life
was just swooping all day
coasting and then banking
against abrupt headwinds
 
but even without wings
we’re caught in the arguments
cold air and warm light
are always having together
 
like a story getting stranger
with each new translation
or like the cannibals turned
Christians who don’t want
 
to talk about the old days
when every supper was the last
and every life in danger
