so this is valentine's day

valentine's day 2021 another low another record broken

valentine's day blizzard the frozen tears on his mask

valetine's day the deer antlers sticking out of the snow

hearts on iron fences a reminder it's valentine's day

wind chill below zero it's valentine's day

a pond you can walk across it's valentine's day

trumpism alive and well it's valentine's day

the absence of birdsong on valentine's day

this morning's snow

this morning's snow sideswiping the maples
a cat running through a waterless fountain
day after Valentine's Day the flags at half-staff
february madness gunman's murders blamed on the fbi
rumbles of thunder the washing machine off balance
pond low with high hopes for rain
hawk squawk spring keeps switching to winter
foggy night full of last-minute curves
sweet memories your words mixed with flowers

valentine's day time to reflect on those I've loved and those I've lost
