Fall Valentine

They take a long time
To break down
But when they dissolve
 
It’s not in tears but with
A life-bestowing power
In a liquid form
 
A food made from piles
Of seeds that went nowhere
Having fallen to the ground
 
The mystery of those sent down
Trying to claw their way
Back into the soil
 
Until all that energy
Of lives not lived
Becomes the fervent earth
