Her Valentine

Everything we do
Interests the earth
As much as us
 
She’s always walking
Toward us with a look
Then slipping through us
 
And striding past
As though she’s afraid
Of getting tangled up
 
And caught too tightly
In some rib-cage
Or some skull
 
Diaphanous and wrinkled
Grandmother earth
Where we lay our hearts
