settle me, leafy & limber as grape vines
upon pillows of leaves, a symmetry of green
i breath in your cool breath, light, green
on greening maple and oak trees, sky
clocks the long hours of daylight
rosy long hours of sunlight
in your greenness, i taste salt
of earth, & summer sun salting
my skin to brown, to flowering blooms, to pierce
my heart as a pear tree of flowering blooms, so fierce
for what am i without you
empty greenhouse, without you, greening
me with a thread of fire, greening
with threads of fire
