Belated St. Valentine


dumpster of decay
how could it come to this?
Discarded beauty has no
mon-e-ta-ry
value any more.

So beauty is measured in bills
and (oh no!) we used the (un) barter system;
made a conversion

stealthy speak
latch lift
dumpster dive
rose recall

loaded up by the dozen,
we are surrounded by an excess of perfection

and it is ours to share.

(That was the night--
the night we became the flowering transcendent)
