Beauty’s Valentine

Beauty is some spiritual competence
To have created the body
Out of its own rhythm and form
 
So one is startled-struck
Touched unmistakably by it
By something similar inside
 
When beauty calls to beauty
Her unfaithful lover
With promises of return
 
But time’s the superstitious one
Full of resonance
And romantic loss
 
Which only softens us up
For beauty’s
Penultimate blow
