Rose Madder Valentine

This grass
is a pretty good
picture of the soil
but the soil is a pretty
poor picture of the past
that past which tried
too hard to come up with
true pictures of the soul
basing them all
on the wrong color sense
before green or blue
become visible to us
when we lived as dreamers
under a rose madder sky
with a little violet
at dawn or sunset
thrown in.
