2007/valentines

Valentine’s Day,
you go out for green tea
and come home
with yellow tulips,
apologizing they’re not red.
But I’m glad they’re yellow,
the color of spring,
and the lone bloom
on a vine outside,
and the two daffodils
in the barrel
I discovered the other day.
And the golden glow in the
fields and rooms of the collage
I just made.
Which I am in love with
this morning,
completely enraptured.
This Valentine’s,
you come home
with yellow tulips,
I’m glad.
