Seedless Valentine

A seed just wants to
make a new seed
the way a human
wants to make a new self
 
or to make many selves
just to get one that succeeds
in rooting sprouting
leafing flowering
 
but the green blood of the grass
stains the flagstones
when the bodies of summer
are dragged from the yard
 
all the self wants
is to make a seed
of a better self
