Other’s Valentine

Content in our discontent
Saints to our sickness
Patient with our failures to a fault
 
Which a devil tries to sully
While an angel lifts the host of the sun
What can you do but come undone
 
Give up your gun and ghost
Surrender your barricades
Lift up your empty heart
 
If only for a second
Slip into the background of our lives
Into the shadows

Where the treasure waits
The gleaming face
Of the other
