Not Mournful Valentine

You can see where I missed places
Where the broom didn’t reach
The sunlight grasps
 
And where there’s a hole
In the garden longing
For me to plant something
 
And that tree I had to take out
Picking up twigs for months
I miss its angles and oranges
 
And then there’s what was here
A hundred or more years ago
That still hasn’t been understood
 
So you can see how I can be comforted
By a single white flower
Or a drop that falls from the sky
