Evolutionary Valentine

Eventually
out of empathy
we come to resemble
our surroundings
it’s a family friendly
resemblance of one
succulent admitting
another eventually
into familiarity
into its cactus arms
but who does not aspire
to become a saguaro
in old age with holes
carved out like wounds
nests for the next life
