Peering Valentine

A man in a yard
Looking up at a helicopter
Bringing safety or bombs
 
A man living in safety
A man living in bombs
One peering at the other
 
As if peering through the earth itself
Its density and murmurs
The tintype of what emerges
 
Of the yards they stand in
As the helicopter circles
Bringing safety or bombs
 
But I can see you
Phantom
Can you see me
