Stuck Valentine

What is it you feel
driving through the city’s
pokey mid-morning streets
dark enormous clouds
pursuing us above
like the Persian fleet
approaching Salamis
or the great mysteries
before they entered
Schelling’s brain
you must read him again
but here you are in
Phoenix and it’s raining
and you’re stuck behind
some sleep-driving landscaper
and your soul has lost its mind
