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.
