Promised Valentine

The hibiscus promise by Passover
They will have put on their robes
Of justice sprinkled with blood

Their bodies will be taken down
To shrivel into the ground
While more and more bodies
 
Flare up to replace them
Each a lifetime in the crossing
Of a single night and day
 
Even now barren eagerly
They do their part in recognizing
The urgency of resurrection
 
In which even the smallest leaves
Will have been swept along
In unworried affirmation
