Valentine's Day

Savory, sweet
honey date pancakes
are the fruit of her morning rush.

She dashes around the room
instinctively; preparing
knapsacks for the day ahead.

Dreams of a different life
have been dead for many years,
lifeless as St. Valentine himself.

They leave--bags packed and bellies full.
Devotion to her family consumes her as
she loves and is loved.
