Carol Ann Duffy
VALENTINE Not a red rose or a satin heart. I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises lightlike the careful undressing of love. Here. It will blind you with tearslike 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 faithfulas we are, for as long as we are.
