red dandelions

I want to lay in the grass

until the dandelions overtake me

wrap my limbs in their roots

their vines in my viens

push petals through my irises

until I don't know where I stop and they begin

until that distinction doesn't matter anymore


maybe then I wouldn't have to do this anymore

ache the way dandelions don't.

maybe the sadness sown into my soul

would fertilise the soil

maybe the dandelions would then grow

all the colours of red that you made me feel
