Mystery Valentine

His home is dead
The mockingbird man
His orange tree is dead
 
He still doesn’t know
What killed it
A mystery in his head
 
Over and over
He reviews the clues
The same old songs
 
And still a few green fruit
May ripen but what’s the use
On the last living branch
 
Soon he too will be gone
The mystery of song
When love is done
