Already Valentine

To soften the blows
A beauty comes
A bird leaps in the grass
Waking a yellow moth
Or something less metaphysical
Like scissors-paper-stone
To guide and spur us on
What does your gut tell you
About beauty you already know
How proud that bird seemed
And that yellow too slow to escape
It turns out beauty has the last blow
But the moth already laid her eggs
