Hansel and Gretel
Urban Education
I am the weed
that grows
in the field
tall
and
colorful
wild
resisting
insecticides
herbicides
straight rows
breeze and bee birth me
I am Nature’s dance
while
I’m stretching to the bountiful
sun
yearning deep
into the moisture
of the soil
talking
with my pals
between the rows
knowing that
soon
a plow
with farmer
will come
looking
for
me
Beautiful. “breeze and bee birth me”. That will stick with me for a long time.
