Its Valentine

It was somewhere in the old tobacco shed
It was somewhere in the woods
Or on the road to town
 
Or out by the smoking dump
Or somewhere around the peony bed
Or inside the rusted truck
 
Or in the pink bedroom’s glow
Sometimes blazing in the stove
Backed by nightfall gone by dawn
 
It was often in the raspberry rows
And the crowns of Queen Anne’s lace
And chicory its favorite blue
 
Slowly it seeped into our bodies
Reappearing years later
As me and you
