Delusional Valentine

If I start thinking of myself
As a whole nation
An abstract civilization
 
Or that my body is the world
And that my heart can only live
In one country at a time
 
Of peril and universal complaint
And if all my governments collapse
One day I’m out fishing
 
And the peace comes back
To start it all up again
Toward the eternity of spring
 
As tulips lean
And my mind’s snow melts
In darkened drifts
