St. Valentine’s Memory

Memory, riddled in desire, is an animal sound

Half human/half beast

Yearning to be heard

Raging at what remains unforgiven.

Grown of a wandering soul,

Transfigured in possibility

Longing the whole heart,

Rolling in from the dark sea,

Its siren song infuses breath

With ferocious passion

To alchemically reveal

A sublime symmetry unfolding within

Harnessing the great mystery.
