Freedom Poem by Julian Takali

Dont try to catch dandileons
Let them swirl with the air
And dance in the wind
Dont try to pick petals off of dainty violets
Let them fondle one another
And love each other as kin
Dont try to photograph her anxiety either
Let her lay on you and run her fingers across yours
Let her bud and blossom and breath

As possesion is the most cynical form of love; as though it is not
Yet much rather a better shape is to appreciate, allow birds to flutter, people to live and wood to rot
