Talcum powder petals – v9

A visible texture, powder,

not needing to touch them;

seeing the softness, the velvet,

their beauty this morning.

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 street.
