Pruning Valentine

We’ve all got to cut back
I murmur to the bodhi tree
pruning carefully myself
myself I have so carelessly
involved in my own leavings
and aspirations I too
got suckered into narrow
summer postures mocking
winter gestures
must I not feel myself
as my own spring
or go back to being you
sweet murmuring of leaves
the next best thing?
