Delicate;
especially when passed
from fingertip to fingertip.
Crushed;
beneath painted toenails
pollen creates mosaics
on weeping grass.
Affection paints itself
in rainbows,
waiting to be entwined
in lovers palms.
Author notes
Because everyone loves flowers...
and flowers are like hearts,
easily broken.
