Reading Valentine

If you read the world three times
You start to get it maybe
With that last try
 
The first reading is so full
Of wonder and shit
It’s hard to face it when it fades
 
What that illumination was
Covers the whole second reading
Like a lunar eclipse
 
Great fire-storms and rains
Search and find
Your covetous heart
 
Which meanwhile is only
Sending up its best
The third recovers all the rest
