Trees Valentine

Now the trees are walking out
of the woods to show us how
to come back from the dead
as a daily sufferance
or nightly occurrence
but who needs hope
when he’s happy they say
throwing off their torn-up
loquacious letters telling
of soft summer mornings
evenings languid afternoons
before anyone has woken
or spoken or broken
before hope is all
in the not having
as the trees insist.
