Agent Orange
February 19, 2014
I used to be a dandelion.
to others I may have looked like a bother,
but to you I was everything
until April crept in
fog coating pupils
and you decided that I was merely a weed,
joining the rest
muttered prayers
as pedals sail
wishes for something
beating in your hands
semblances gather along the crevice
and they can never give
what I gave you.
