SUMMER IN THE CITY

She’s a beauty,

Taller than most with

Blonde hair teased to spiky perfection,

Her only dream to grow old and white

And drift away with the wind.

She’s one of many,

Arms open to strangers,

Her Amazonian garb flowing

As she walks the park with her sisters,

dancing, singing with pigeons.

She’s in danger.

Poison fills her veins,

or violence robs her of her head.

Sometimes even children’s hands snatch her soul.

That’s life for a dandelion.
