Talcum powder petals – v5

Soft within my fingers

a unique texture

as if dry, covered in powder,

though they were drenched

The wet apple blossoms

blanketing the street

the grass covered

white by their feet

Talcum powder petals

like cool paper between my fingers

soft, light, yet laden

with water from the gutter
