Are Numbers Beings Valentine

When you do the numerology of it

The roots the stems the flowers

Each taking about 1200 years

And all this springing up out of the minds

Of numerous minerals pure and objective

Who tear themselves apart

Silently dissolving you come

To develop a different sympathy

For trying to figure out the code

Your forgotten birthday password
But the added numbers only open up

To the astrology page the stricken stars

Your shy reflection shivering among them
