who sprouted legs and
petal-pushed our way out
to travel across land and sea
windswept and sun-soaked
our chlorophyll bare
stomata contracting
our mouths open
to welcome breath
each little crown a whorl
we dance with winged beings
and whisper our dreams
of multiplicity we
cross-pollinate
hybridize
plant our seeds
watch them germinate
