Right Valentine

I build an inner and an outer edifice
One that crumbles as I patch it up
And one I patch as it tumbles down
 
They stand two castles
Over a valley of vineyards
The way life stands between two deaths
 
Rescued by memory’s one light
Battery fading but still
Blinding clarity of the stones
 
How did I lay them so huge
And snug you couldn’t slide
My soul between them
 
But still they toppled
And still I call you priests and knights
Childhood was right
