The Jewel Garden - Uncle Chuck
Emerald Leaves
1.
old interfaces, snow-crowned, growing & crumbling
a triple line where humanity, mountain, & sky
touch
& do not touch
are 1
& are 10,000
2.
10,000 emerald leaves
like emerald leaflets
on the inevitability
of autumn
3.
The aftertaste of bergamot,
gently,
cloud-like
passes away
4.
Prairie flowers.
The plains grew bison
with blades of grass
5.
Those striking points like incursions
–– icy diadem ––
look like they could pop the firmament
& let all the waters flow out over themselves
& enjoy a bath
6.
dog patterns around blocks
constantly, simultaneously
a single pattern/system like eddies along fjords
wagging tails, leashes, legs dilated across time become
like the frothy-water inner edge of the eddy
7.
at night the cities mimic the stars,
scattered lights in the dark
flat flattery
8.
These creatures, like islands, cannot rest,
cannot help but drift,
bump into each other,
love,
make little atolls
9.
Evergreen is a misnomer,
just like every ever is.
The needles fall,
become yellow,
become soil,
forever
10.
Owls ask important questions
in 10,000 intonations
expecting answers
11.
Cyclicalities:
fluid through our pipes,
through us,
through our pipes;
life;
destruction;
the little glass tray in the microwave
12.
sky, tree, soil:
tri-fold, unitary
the tree a stubborn interface between:
dualism Mantle-Stratosphere
13.
the clinks of gutter cans
syncopate
breezes & birdsong
14.
ruby-sandstone turrets
Rocky, cloud-skirted pinnacles
wide snowflakes & shifting window light
15.
the day undergoes its metamorphosis
binary Lamplight flicks to 1
there is a magic you
