She watered the fichus and festoons And far away, they somewhat bloom The leaves a breadth between, the air Nested as I am, and stare From the frond, below the wings Watching humans, poignant things Scaring birds to rustle trees A lingered hand, those nails, the breeze She looked to me and kill't the space Which separates a race from race To finger full a garnered seed A palm that greets, a dying **** Festoons awash from laden rain Next day came, and there remains My crumpled arm, less safe than torn To watch again a careful storm Outlined in clouds my brother call'd I turn the arm, and yet it stall'd This universe that clung here, floored Cannot simply be ignored If you keep calling when its clear If you keep gathering them here The subtle way you water fronds Our subtle breath dilutes, absconds

Festoons
She watered the fichus and festoons And far away, they somewhat bloom The leaves a breadth between, the air Nested as I am, and stare From the frond, below the wings Watching humans, poignant things Scaring birds to rustle trees A lingered hand, those nails, the breeze She looked to me and kill't the space Which separates a race from race To finger full a garnered seed A palm that greets, a dying **** Festoons awash from laden rain Next day came, and there remains My crumpled arm, less safe than torn To watch again a careful storm Outlined in clouds my brother call'd I turn the arm, and yet it stall'd This universe that clung here, floored Cannot simply be ignored If you keep calling when its clear If you keep gathering them here The subtle way you water fronds Our subtle breath dilutes, absconds
