Fighting Valentine

Don’t forget you were given
your own hunting park and garden
stocked with wild lizards
who graze freely despite a stray
cat and screeching starling
lease-mates on this five cent
postage stamp of dirt
which flowery memory tightly
wraps and sends off
to the north pole of time
finally the mind gets tired
of the body it’s called sleep
or death this side of which
we fight with love
