Chicory is a morning flower, It turns its bright blue face Up to meet the bright blue sky DANDELIONS With a dawn-like grace.

Dandelions, little suns But when the sun has risen high Rising from the green And filled the air with heat, To tell us of the energy The chicory hides its head away Stored in their roots, unseen. And stares down at its feet.

Dandelions, little moons Not unlike us, who in the full Ever-round with seed Dry heat of summer days To tell us they are full of all Can barely gather, cook, or eat The vitamins we need. But slump down in a daze.

And when you blow them into stars So rise up early with the cool. That shimmer in the air, The roadside will reveal Watch how they fall and where they land— The blue that whets your appetite A new sun’s forming there. And serves your midday meal. YARROW

So take the hand it offers you— The plants that those who have abhor, Green fingers branching wide— Revered by those who lack. To bind your wounds and staunch the blood That flows out like the tide. For if you pinch the young leaves’ tops And fold away their sting What hurts you doesn’t have to show. And heat them in a tea, you’ll find If cramp or cold or flu They treat most anything.
