Falling Leaf Valentine

And just as I read
'also a shrill descending
kee-oo' I heard it
faintly a few
houses away

what was it written on
by warm air in cold light
now it's no longer there
gone into farthest space
as if nothing inside

can be trusted anymore
only what returns
thoroughly learned and
thoroughly relinquished
by way of a god's reply.
