Tone. Variety. Multiplicity;
shape arranging position; mauve scattered
uphill in clump patterns of bursts exploding;
yellow in multi-hues: none are alike,
discrepancy played from the same origin;
soft green swinging riotously; low chord overtones
becoming minor reds in quick cloud dapple.
A wiry branch staggers arachnidly
over bunched ling and mud, grass and small stones;
through and out the grey of dead plant matter
passing off as part of the most living
which it may well be once more, once rotten.
A bit of land one walks by easily,
every day turning up its liveliness.
