Hi Friends,
For Christmas this past year, my brother gave me a book called My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again — a poetry collection by Daisy Fried. I love my brother; he cracks me up.
This is the first poem in that book. Don't be afraid to read it through twice, and/or out loud to your valentine.
Cheers,
Ellen

Better Read, A Valentine
Scare, tides & herring. Shift. Sky
at night. Eye flight, the plane half empty.
Light district, letter days, in tooth
and claw. Hot Chili Peppers, blooded,
lobster, roses, River Valley,
remember? Flag flying here
(though cowards flinch
and traitors sneer). Rover.
Rover, come over.
