Disintegrating Valentine

If plants are stationary pets
Harnessed to us obedient
That must be groomed and fed
And these stars tonight
Awash in our fears
Must be taught
They too on their leashes of light
Fall down without us
When will the thinking part
Overcome the willfulness
Of some over-arching plan
To have the heart go on alone
To have the physical world
Dismember us
Atoms spinning in space
And to forget our home
