Beyond Blooms
She's a May baby,
lily of the valley–
head drooping in girly chagrin,
white bell-shaped skirt
trembling in the wind.
Yet to call her by her birth flower
would be a tepid statement
missing a much deserved
exclamation mark.
A prodigy all grown up,
she’s now a professor.
Complex math equations
and chemical formulas
flow from her unmanicured hand.
Beyond birds and bees.
