Petal Pullers

my pet daisy is dying

lil petals curling black

still

~she loves me~

uplifting

does she not?

brave face fading

despite cater-pillars bracing her

and there is nothing to be done

and love pulling her

to save her…

she’s a sweet pet,

honey bees needing her

no bark and no bite,

soothsayer

and I wonder if I should plant her all the same,

so she can push herself up

finding new life
