Fallen Valentine

Some plants speak to me
But with them all I feel
An immediate kinship
 
They all say the same thing
Stay a leaf forever
It’s easier
 
Worse than sentimental
Are the coy and clever
Which leaves never are
 
Then they go on and on
About spring and the sickness
Before childbirth
 
That this is the only world
They can leave their children
When they all fall down
