Vinca’s Valentine

I commit my sin
I receive the medicine
O lucky sin
 
While the Vinca grows a cross
Of leaves each cross
Lifted upon another
 
Until a five-petaled flower
Emerges from their quarrel
With a blood-red stain
 
At the center of such whiteness
It must be its sin
Hidden in the green
 
While the sun fell upon it
And I watched it
Grow up for me
