Verdin's Valentine

Two Verdins come to harvest
The dandelion seeds
Light enough to land
On the tall stems
Heavy enough to tip
Them over spilling
Them on the grass
Where they are easier
To reach is that
Where they get their color
Pale greenish-yellow breasts
From the dandelion flower
Barely an hour my wonder
A thread of the world unwove
