One Valentine

Through whatever adumbrations
The world has led to you and me
So we can trace our bodies back
While our souls evade heredity
Some great grandmother's pale eyes
Recycled in a runaway boy
Who reenacts the promise
She was forced to destroy
Our souls that pull us forward
While our bodies trail behind
But this particular you
And this particular me
Our lives so intertwined
Divide equally between us
One destiny and mind
