“Dandelion Piece” by Selah Hage
November 19, 2024
Imagine a dandelion field.
Pick a singular dandelion that
represents you.
Let it out of your grasp
and follow it as the wind
pushes it away from you.
Eventually, it will fall
to the ground.
Watch that happen, watch
your life crumble in
your sight.
This poem was written by Selah Hage, as a 7th grader at Catharine Blaine K-8 with WITS writer-in-residence Cypress Manning. Performed at the SAL Presents event with Matty Matheson at Town Hall Seattle on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
