Written Valentine

The impression left on one side
of the paper by something written
on the other is like braille
little bumps and ridges
of a language in reverse
a dialect in decline
irregular verbs that fail
to out-Pollack the snail
the way the earth is like
the shadow cast
by some great creature
its residue drifting downward
into matter while above
high up strides love
