Lucky Valentine

Fat stars have fallen
on the pale nasturtiums
so they stand there rather stupidly
admiring their luck
those enormous diamonds
stars become when they die
landing right in their laps
which only because of
the inverted umbrellas
their large round leaves
gratefully offer the rain
and the sun can we be said
to exist at all and have seen
what becomes of their dead
