Walked Valentine

If I don’t speak to them
They won’t speak to me
The ladies of the morning
 
And the dark children who run
Around my yard before dawn
From whom I hide my dreams
 
Will return to being leaves
When the ladies walk their dogs
Around the pond so perky
 
Even the sun pulls on its leash
That leads me finally to greet
These ladies of the light
 
Who pass from each to each
Across the pond bright speech
Out of the murky night
