My name isn't beautiful.
It doesn't roll off your tongue.
It is who I am,
or perhaps rather
who I am not.
It does not mean
"gentleness is in her soul"
It means lime tree.
Not delicate, graceful
but strong, sturdy, unmoving.
Producing limes:
sour, acidic fruit
that make your face cringe.
Only good for preventing scurvy,
for cleansing things
for stinging wounds.
