Sophie Hannah, "Poem for a Valentine Card"

I hate soppy Valentine's Day poems, but this one made me grin a bit, particularly the last couple lines.

-----

You won't find any hints
Enclosed, no cryptic clues, no fingerprints,

Nothing about the gender,
Background or occupation of the sender.

Anonymous, unseen---
You're dealing with the all-time king or queen

Of undercover loves.
The author of this valentine wore gloves.
