New Plantation

Nomenclature;
nomen-clutter,
nomen-clatter:-
Names;
sutures on fresh wounds.

Self-seeded grasses,
honey-haze,
punctured
by purple-stalked
umbellifers
withered to a
frame.

The back-drop rises:
saplings thickly set;
green unction for the
raw tentacles of my eyes:

A some-day canopy on it’s
virgin voyage into the blue...
leaves drunk on the
broken barrel of fresh rain.

As light fades, and drizzle sets in,
I find a way to the
unbroken promise of my solitude
at last.
