The Wild Bunch

We don’t need rows or garden beds—

we party where the sidewalk ends.

We twirl in wind, we splash in rain,

we crash the lawns without a name.


We dress in purple, gold, and red,

with petals tousled on our heads.

The bees all know our secret spots—

we bloom in places people don’t.


So bend on down, come take a peek—

we’re rebels dancing cheek to cheek.
