Shorter Days Valentine

Sunrise for our
hibiscus bloom
is noon for us
 
she sleeps late
for beauty’s sake
and is the oranger
 
for it so awake
the yard vibrates
for a single hour
 
narrow hallway
happily on fire
even in November
 
even if I told you
each flower lasts only one day
I couldn’t have been wronger
