valentine

• i give you an onion
• it is a moon wrapped in brown paper
• it will blind you with tears like a lover
• i am trying to be truthful
• its fierce kiss will stay on your lips
• its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring
• its scent will cling to your fingers, cling to your knife
• not a red rose or a satin heart
• not a cute card or kissogram
• possessive and faithful
• it is 'lethal'
