Happy Valentine's Day

[devilgrrl]

Happy VDay, Internets.

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.

This was the last reading from our wedding ceremony.

That is lovely.
I like your icon.

Thank you. I'll make you one, if you'd like. It's from my stock of retro graphics.

That would be great. I suck at making icons. Can you make me one that says July 14th?

There you go!
