1. Tussilago Farfara

Grounded in solid stone and concrete

In the cracks of civilisation

Stood a coltsfoot, ever yellow

And greeted my feet.

Rocked by the wind, it danced

With a grace rarely found

A grace no human would know to imitate

For humans are not coltsfoots

They are not graceful.

Little coltsfoot, what can you teach me?

I am grounded solid, weighted by stone and concrete

Unable to stand tall in the cracks of civilisation

My only possible course of action

Is to walk on your prime grounds

Blessed to shine ever yellow

By your grace, I will stand

To be rocked by the wind

And quietly wish to be a coltsfoot.
