In defense of dandelion
January 14, 2019
Baby angiosperm sprouts
from a gap in the sidewalk.
Craning it’s enfeebled petals
It looks to the sky to scream
A mute benediction
Fear me, I am dandelion.
Dandelion craves pollen,
evolutionary triumph.
That crack in the sidewalk
widens in the August heat
swallows the angiosperm
and it’s silent hallelujah
Summer goes on.
