Dyed Flora #2 : White Clover

Spring breeze
gentle
Blows past me
ruffling
my leaflets green
one after another
calling
them by names
hee-mang
sin-ang
sa-rang
haeng-..
un, only a faint whisper
the last
as it's blown away
away from me
towards you
leaving
leaflets, only three
listen to it
the spring breeze
as it whistles past you
I pray
you find
the fourth
stuck, tangled
in your hair locks..

-Krutika Tawde
