underneath a skirt
there are ruffles to fluff
through the night
not to be bothered
by anyone other
than the woman
who wears them so
as she is being
spun around
by men taller than her
she is a girl that has
sprung into maturity
dancing colorfully
like a tangerine marigold
in broad daylight
which intends to leave
the world admiring
her pompous flair
because flowers look
the most sophisticated
at full bloom
