All Valentine

All I have to do today
Is fill the hummingbird feeder
And replenish the birdbath
 
If I ponder the fate
Of the heavily-burdened
My heart continues to break
 
I reach out my virtual hands
To grasp the helplessness of the morning
The austere things that need doing
 
Rescuing one thing
I knock over another
By noon the garden asks me to leave
 
Even indoors the rooms tell me
I’m not needed
Though I know it’s a lie
