Love today

Today is love day

in the Western world, while 

money grows wild

in the Eastern world.

Robed boys give me chocolate coins

and miracles on vacant streets.

Blessings 

born last week peer

through red envelopes

Their baby's breath clear the air...

Late in the night, my mother's message

scares me:

"Your mom loves you always."

Three robed ghosts shake their chains:

Be loved.

Lose love.

Give love.

Spirits, separate from me,

Possess me with your powers!
