蒲公英

Residing liminal 'twixt fast and slow
Faint flourishing where man-made meets the street
Sporadic sprays of yellow ebb and flow
A creeping weed has never looked so sweet.
Beset by eager workers, formed and set
Your beauty goes unnoticed, trowl'd and sprayed
By wands and gallon jugs and hydric jet
With human chemicals, your flourish fades;
Betrayed and trodden, senza voce, seethe
Oh how I'd eat your blossoms, drink your leaves
