That Valentine

A thoughtful god
Would not have forgotten how
To bring imperfection to all things
 
A paradoxical god
Willing to work against
His own interests at times
 
This would seem his genius
To have the dead bring life
And the living bring death into the world
 
Not a scheme but an experience
Of wisdom falling to its knees
Shamed by senseless joy
 
The invention of the human
I mean who else
Could have come up with that
