Heart Felt Leaves
A
full
basket
of heart-shaped
leaves greeted me at
my doorstep as I went outside
to water the lawn; red robins flew down to the grass
listened for the sound of earthworms
aerating moist soil
mulching wet
dirt and
grass
blades.
I
went
back a
bit amused
to the straw basket
noticed a card with instructions:
place each scarlet symbol of my undying love to
your lips; nature's shape connects our
souls though far apart
endearment
expressed
in
arcs.
