Flower

The weed at the side of the road in the sky
Its fragile rivulets subtly sweet
Watches with vivid grace and sighs
Sipping moist sun off an empty street

Cars lurch by in a gravelly trail
Slicking back fronds of neat stringed grass
Like when feeling the touch of a cold sided snail
It patiently waits for the uproar to pass

As it watches on it makes its night meal
Xylem snapping at the hedonist slight
Of a grinding thickness of solid wheel
That shoulders off its weak acid bite

Practical it feels with fingers to the breeze
And opens a perfect white flag to the bees

The opening line is beautiful and from there my attention was yours! The story in this poem draws the reader in and I for one wanted to see more, follow it along and discover the most beautiful ending. Well done!
