Challenging Poetry

the pollen of spring

the air turns green
with life,
thick and strong.

green lines the roads
kicking up in curlicues
and clouds as someone passes,
then settling
away from their footprints.

we track green indoors,
shaking it from our hair,
dusting it from our boots,
breathing it.
everywhere.

it's spring. everything is blooming. And the pollen is ubiquitous.
