Let me be

I’m a wild flower
Don’t pluck me
Don’t bonsai me
I’ll die,
I’ll definitely die on your desk

I’m like sand
You try to grab, I slip away
Just let me be
& when the wind calls,
Let me flicker

I am the wind
The air everywhere
The aimless breathless thoughtless wind
Don’t build a home for me
Don’t fence me,
I’ll suffocate
Just breathe me in
& breathe me out
& I may just linger around
