Petals Valentine

Red petals fill the birdbath
the prickly asparagus ferns
are sprinkled with them
the walk needs sweeping
still there are petals falling
carried in on shoes and heads
night and day and tiny
pomegranates falling
rejected by the tree
come down still wrapped
in their petals how many
are rejected how many
petals light the path
or are they his blood
his breath
