Orchids and Everything Since

 

Perfection. And a field

a photo resonates

in passing. As orchids

numerate, [square land]

setting stems writhe

into lyrics,

moving pictures.

 

Abstraction undermines

an eye’s permission

to clash detail

branching

vegetation, harmonial

inheritance.

 

A petalfuses the fringed

purple breaths,

symmetrical hearts,

shapes that escape

breeze.

 

Silvering electricity,

orchids and lilies

pair to orchestrate

seduction,

vivid as remains

catch and trill

spring, lengthening

lawns.

 

A blaze sings

the waving brushwood,

the flavor of one full note.
