concrete slabs
hot and gray in the sun

lifeless non entity
a dandelion with tree dreams
finds a miniscule crack
in this anonymous shield
pokes through
her head crowned
in a golden haze
and nature’s claim
on what is hers begins
who will Gaia send
as the next warrior
probably the bird armies
conveying more seed soldiers
who stalk the weakness
of the spreading enemy
