Born in the Fifties (In June)
Important to pirouette
a squeezed radius, cinch waist.
June made fitting include favoriting
pearls/roses, merchant-determined
birth flower/stone–
what people were supposed to give you
special; what you were supposed to be
special–
Impossible to imagine either
born of grit; harder
to push from
shell/bud/whorl
into dirt freshness, taking
deep breadths.

Here’s an almost belated draftish sort of poem for the G-Man –go tell him so he believes I made it in time–and also for a prompt of Kerry O’Connor on With Real Toads to write about the language of flowers.
