Leafing Valentine

I tend to favor

the smaller red

and yellow over

the taller orange

nasturtiums who are

feathery prolific

and flower fuller now

but the nearer I get

to the north of

some specific leaf

where every leaf

considers itself vigilant

remarkable and equal

to any color or flower

the more I see love

has all the power

and stacks the world

with pictures of itself

in every trembling face.
