The Sour Valentine.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Sour Valentine....



we are sorry

for the blind and the
deaf-mute

your valentine is here
but not that late

the years did not
strengthen him

he had become blind and
deaf and mute

the drudgery made him
so much of a fool

he will not give you
roses and chocolates

he had long believed
inside his mind the uselessness
of these endearments

the roses wilted
and the chocolates melted
as for him
sunny days are blunders.
