Returned Valentine

To prove it’s not just
one thing repeating itself
one thing after another like spring
fall comes with its distinctions
sorting things out separating
one thing from another
into neat piles and packing
things away stamped
return to the invisible
from which you came
having merely pretended life
having masqueraded as beauty
having propped love up with things
and a narrow room where we met
to become one fall comes
to separate it all out
and settle the debt
