Her heart lies amongst leaves
Her green heart
Breathing and beating.
Her heart falls with the leaves
Her blue heart
Sleeping in snowdrifts.
Her heart, scented with pine
Is evergreen like true love
Her heart scented by lilacs
Is cooed to by Turtle Doves
So many hearts hang on so many trees
One falls for you, one falls for me
Her heart is pierced by sharp pine needles
The pine cone tells of cold weather
She hangs up there on her torture tree
For ever and forever
Her heart beats where leaves breath
Her heart beats where midges weave
A spark of love flies from leaf to leaf
No rain from heaven can stop this grief
The tree turns red the flames dance
Higher and higher in Autumn trance
17 April
