Tiny Flowers

I will not be patient with you,
You, tiny flowers.
You’re wet and  you spoil my day.
I’ll return to  you at evening’s rising 
When dryness again may muster strength
I’ll beat around already broken bushes before I pick your petals again!
You dry, lonesome petals,
Selfish flower.
You thought you were the only one who could dream 
With pretty petals caressing the sand
But I dream of a world 
With no flowers 
Or at least 
No more tiny,
Selfish flowers.
