Beauty Calls Us to the Earth Valentine

Pursuant to the power
of the most experienced
of butterflies or birds
or any of a variety of
species made visible
for a time an afternoon
drifting on drafts of light
not subject to gravity
never touching ground
but who nevertheless
call us back to earth
fluttering in our empty
heads like memories of
something or someone
really important
we cannot forget
needing our immediate
attention and concern.
