Looking Up Valentine

A curious flock of small V-shaped
Clouds heading north this morning 
Like check-marks risen from the list
Of things yesterday accomplished 
With four white porpoises pursuing
And then a gray whale looming near
A fanfare of thunder and lightening
From a distant war but no rain comes
Then nothing but a surfaceless sea 
Of blue endless into evening
Surely the gods must be planning
Their next move having dragged us 
Into this suspension of disbelief
This wondrous terrible world
