Carol Ann Duffy - Valentine by Ethan Kalmar https://padlet.com/ethanka1/kaivwprzoj7p925t Made with joy en-us 2020-05-21 03:17:29 UTC 2020-06-09 02:28:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2764.png Carol Ann Duffy - Valentine ethanka1 https://padlet.com/ethanka1/kaivwprzoj7p925t/wish/586223727 Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
