Talcum powder petals – v8

A visible texture, present,
not needing to touch them;
seeing the softness
their beauty this morning.

The wet apple blossoms
blanketing the street;
the grass covered
white by our feet.

Talcum powder petals
cool paper between my fingers;
soft, light, yet laden,
with water from the gutter.

A visible texture
as if in satin;
drawing my eye
with an urgent message.
