Dandelion

by Douglas Fireman


 

Your yellow petals

have nestled many times

beneath my chin

 

where pollen mixed

with morning dew

left tell tale signs of you

 

I remember the first

Moment

I laid eyes on you

 

Your golden head

Sunfilled to the brim

was bobbing in the wind

 

When I picked you

and gave you

to my mother

 

she cried silver tears

Years later

when she died

 

I placed ten wreaths

of yellow suns

upon her grave...
