Unnamed Valentine

In the presence of the dead
who of course live on without
bodies holding them together
in the absence of the living
 
who are still mostly asleep
in the time when the color
for safety returns to the breeze
and the formula for green goes public
 
and all at a microscopic level
all the way back to hydrogen
and the invention of prayer
but which came first
 
thirty times thirty denials
my name goes here
or acceptance of the spring
