Borrowed Valentine

These words aren’t mine
How many already I forgot
Until they drop back into my brain
 
That word for that flower
Which is crawling now
Into the arms of its neighbor
 
Having forgotten how to flower
That word for that bird
That comes to mock
 
With overpowering song
The forgotten hour
It takes to bloom
 
Its borrowed flowers
My borrowed words
Not long
