Far Valentine

The poet’s husband
Is the spiraling sky
Aren’t they often having a moment
 
Far out on the horizon of their love
Where the denizens of the deep
Reappear in dream formations
 
Swimming close above them
They were fast asleep
In the belly of some ship
 
The sky stays at home
When the sky goes to sea
Different places when the sun goes down

The poet’s widow
Is the starry sky
Is he not mourning now he’s free
