Somewhere in Mexico,a small white flower
glistens in a red cocoon;
Somewhere a heart
is bursting into bloom.
And every year,
about this time
thousands of heart-shaped boxes
-- also bursting, but with candies --
eager to give,
leap into arms
of hungry maidens
who perhaps mistakenly assume
a cardboard heart and a pound of chocolate
will somehow assuage their longing for love...
