Happy Valentine’s Day

our exhibit

we are in the ruins of love.
all wonderfully amiss in afterglow,
the bedcovers covering nothing,
the billows of pillows, the silent sheets
speaking volumes...
their wrinkles, spots,
the lower right corner
pulled loose, the elastic no match
for your fingers' coital clutch.
the bed itself, still standing,
evidence of retrofitted springs and slats,
its new location, five inches from the wall
and beyond the reach of the morning alarm,
testament to vector physics
and your exuberant turns on top.

put the velvet rope across the doorway.
alert the docent and open the gates.

• Just wanted to say that I enjoy your pic of the day. It’s cute.

  Now, back to my being bitter…

• You know, at a distance, your bitterness isn’t all that threatening. It’s at close proximity that I would worry about your pounding my face in with a sarcasm and a cordless mouse. Still, glad you like the photo. And that you can type boink.

• Mmmmm. Very nice po-em. Thank you, darling.

  Thanks also for the little blurb you put over my link, which I just noticed:

  “ Married ain’t dead.”

  Hehe.
