“verdant fields”
words germinant embed
on a once blank page
send pale shoots upward,
stir and gather
syllabic rootlets,
stand tall, small,
frail, bold,
monumental
morphemic icons,
bearers of inescapable burdens,
conduits of affable torrents,
muted discovery
breaking skin with
unquiet disrespect
upon fruited plains,
wavy fields of grain:
venues of displacement,
perched on a leaf,
now not as blanc
.
