Loopy Valentine

I stumbled around the yard again
Tied to the raving weed-trimmer
Raising dust where grass had been
 
Almost nicking the pale hibiscus
She of the lovely legs
All her blooms forgotten
 
And then the long raking into piles
I think of the Hadean fires
Where zircons hatched
 
The first legless animals
A yardful always
Standing up and starting over
 
I don’t know why this makes me so happy
This idea of time we’ve come up with
As yet so unsatisfied and dopey
