Gallivanting Valentine Thoughts...
what she has in mind is all romantic.
valentine's day
enough of chocolates and roses
or this motel thing,
away from the home that we built
mutually for
25 years.
why not go out for a while?
be with all the strangers in that far away place
and celebrate love?
she suggests.
a beach perhaps, or an escapade with those zip lines,
or a hideaway somewhere
in the desert,
hmm, i said, let me think about it,
after valentine's day.
(still got a bleeding heart to heal,
hardheaded and battered, and angry still)
just the same, happy valentine's to you my dear,
thanks.
will she leave? he asks. I know she won't.
but that will be alright.
alone again, he thinks, life must be one
happy solitude, hurtful, on the hinds, and blinds.
