More in Jasmine's Poetry Spring Is Not Here (1/30)
the peonies are early this year
pink petals clasped tightly
around the morning dew
ladies parade about in skirts,
twirling loosely, pink fabric
splaying circles around bare legs
I look down in my lap, see
pants - black fabric clasped
tight to my skin and think
I am no lady
I am no flower
