(Not) The Second Choice

A flower sad
For not being the first
To be touched by a butterfly.

A branch
calling itself second
to be a wandering bird’s perch.

A raindrop lamenting
Not being the first
To kiss the earth.

Spring
of a year
mourning not being winter.

A cloud sorry
For not being the first
To be moved by the wind.

The indigo of a rainbow sad
About not being
The violet.
