Raised Valentine

Hurled forward into the future
And dragged screaming back
Into the past at 2:22 PM
I had to draw the drapes
Nestle in for a nap
The best part of childhood awaits
I roughly remember the prayer
That goes with it into the dark
Stream of hurrying dreams
But at 4:10 PM some man
Banged the door open
Flashing the light on and off
Yelling my name twice
And just as quickly was gone
The house was in darkness
The doors and windows locked
My life still loves me I thought
Rouses me from the dead
