Perpetual Holiday

St. Valentine has been left for dead at the crossroads. His nakedness doesn't explain his deafness. Dirt blown from faraway farms slowly buries him until, a year later, we need him desperately. He is dusted off and stuffed into a G-string, taught table manners. Peace isn't what the world wants after all — no, no. There is a rush towards astonishment, as if one holiday is enough to conquer the aches: La Paz, vanished city, fails to turn into a snappy greeting card.
