Valentine’s Day wedding
-anniversaries
easy to remember
snow moon
two silhouettes
holding hands
special day
middle of winter, february …
warms the heart
Valentine’s Day celebrations
florists, restaurants’ prices
…guilt-trip Love Day
last night’s shock
a withered rose
for US$3
flourish of emotion
the is drugstore crowding with
late shopping husbands
valentine’s day
the truck driver sits down
to a bowl of texas red
Light like by day time…
the moon happily nestling
in yesterday’s snow
february darkness —
lonely lover
looks for the moon
