To Finish Her Song
Polymath Siren,
her flower returns
New stirrings to write
new melody to learn
Renaissance memory,
its present announced
Freeing your psyche,
past-future recount
Polymath harlot,
love pledged again
Petals now varied,
spread from within
Bouquet filled enigma,
here until gone
Leaving always one seedling
—to finish her song
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
