lonely hearts

(just for today)

the lonely hearts don’t end up in the box
with the other valentines

they are crumpled in the back of the desk
shoved back with the pencil shavings

the sign off crossed off after the letters were
formed so carefully

to show the love the longing the hope that
feelings are shared

then thought better of stupid love
stupid hearts stupid day

wait for tomorrow
it will go away
