A First Blooming, by Sharman Gill

Always takes me by surprise

Even when the season’s right.

How could I miss the tender

unrolling, the flushing toward

sun? I’ve walked this garden

‘round each day as I’ve held

you since birth. A part of me.

We are one, I thought,

until I stopped in color’s path

And wondered at the change.
