WHEN YOUR SWEETHEART
IS NO ONE
What are you doing on Valentine’s Day?
when your sweetheart is no one
when you see others play
What are you doing?
Are you hoping
Are you dreaming
Are you doing laundry and dusting
Working and fussing
Oh what are you doing on Valentine’s Day?
What are you doing on Valentine’s Day?
when your sweetheart is no one
when you see others play
when you’re not romantic
when the day’s just a day
What are you doing on Valentine’s Day?
Cards hearts and flowers
in each shopfront
on each corner
But love can’t be hurried
so the day hurries by
with no cards hearts and flowers
with no call from a lover
with a book in the bedroom
a book about horror
or about medieval warfare
or about ancient rites
a book to set me yawning
goodnight, day, goodnight
goodnight, Valentine’s Day
goodnight, no sweetheart
goodnight, until tomorrow
a new day
a new start
‘cause there’s one thing I know
I will not stay alone
lost in hopes
or in memories
time to move on

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
