ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: Wildflowers Wilting in Grief, by Joy Marie Curtis

Wildflowers Wilting in Grief,
Wildflowers in all corners of the earth,
Sewn by the souls of girls forgotten by their fathers,
not the product of a virgin birth.

Their spirits drift across the wind,
and they land somewhere safe and wild,
They rest in a sea of grass, and behind
a barricade of trees as they soothe their inner child.

As wildflowers, forgotten little girls,
soak in the rain and bath in the generous sun,
But greed pollutes the mountains by their father’s sons,

There is no rest for little girls forgotten by their fathers,
No, not even when they are lonely wildflowers,
For they will always have brothers.
