Flowers for the Urban Fae

Flowers for the Urban Fae

With what do you woo the urban fairies?
Would they prefer ragweed to roses?
Would they turn up their noses at
Wal-Mart carnations?
If you build them a fairy-door,
with what do you make it?
Would they prefer crumpled cigarette packs
to oakmoss and twigs?
Will they only reside in green cracks
and crevices?
Will they inhabit concrete and steel?
I think at the new moon,
I'll call for the fairies.
Chanting imaginary flowers
off condo walls.
I'll make a libation
of sweet wine and spices.
And I'll let you know
if they come at all.
