Hibiscus Valentine

What if your name was Sunny Wind
and mine was San Diego Red
and we grew up together
our backs against the same
pale pink stucco of the house
next door blooming continuously
except in winter but through
the hell of summer even
so it would be a kind of coupling
to grow closer over the years
our roots almost touching
our flowers red and yellow
opening and overlapping
often I would think
