Your Valentine

This year’s pomegranate tree
so many more red flowers
I’ve already forgotten when
bricked in by books piled high
unprepared to blossom.

Left to my own devices
I can as yet do little
for myself but notice
like a river inside me
what I see is you.

Here in the word I wait sitting
without an appointment
barely certain
I’d remember my name
if you asked.
