Graveyard Valentine

In that place
where poems were once found
even those never written down
on earth in books
or carried by windy voices
across temporary landscapes
you first tried to dig them up
to get them to grow
around your house
but slowly they withered
missing their native ground
or never made it past winter
all but for this one
fall crocus you carry
in your throat
