Dandelion


 

I generally forgive the children who trample me,

It’s the course of things.


There was deliberation today, though.

Bits blended into soft powder.


But it’s you,

and so I forgive harder.


You meant to do this.

It is an act of appreciation.


I am enough to destroy.

I am an inspiration.
 
Step on me again.
