Translated Valentine

Over there where we’re going
hunger and thirst translate
as courage and knowledge
having first been pressed
through the sieve of desire
formerly known as the soul
they become concepts again
thus an arm and a leg
provide the form and outline
for the first sketches of hope
though some believe these
were meant to be wings
in the original design
in the end hope settled
for purely human things
