Each One Valentine

As long as those who had gotten ahead
Took care of those who had fallen behind
So no one was left entirely on his own
In that time of the shared importance
Of all things when we were
Just learning to stand and speak
When after the shattering
Little by little the soul
Sank down into the body
Like a feather or a stone
When the spirt of all
Lived in each one
For that short time
Do you still remember it
