Constellate
Dandelions
Megan Grounds
Isn’t it sad
that dandelions
always die in water.
The brightest flower,
the easiest to pick
(no thorns or thistles)
but too wildly unruly
to be cared for.
You cannot force them
to prolong their beauty.
Even in the field
they rush hastily through it,
dying to become
unwished for wishes.
