Later Valentine (for Joan)

Vast archangels of the zodiac
With your swinging scales
Bestowing and cajoling us
 
We sail far past you
Out to the dark pastures
Where light is born
 
Where we are the dew
Of the first morning
Proud as if we created it
 
When you misread the text
Saying ‘Moses could only see
God’s behind’
 
Crashing us back to earth
With laughter
We saved for later
