Mystery Valentine

Is it better not to know the ending
Or is it perverse to read it first
And follow the quietly guilty one
Backwards through his innocent days
Isn't he who sets out not knowing
Where he's going at a certain
Disadvantage to the destination
The pleasure every reader knows
Longing to know the ending
But who would have expected
Not so much the solution of a death
As the revelation of what
it was hiding all along
