a poem by Chris Brandt
green, that blades up out of
(brown black red sandy loamy yellow wet)
earth
green, that tenders its tiniest delicacies
from fibrous
(brown grey black white yellow)
wood
green, that blooms on pond and pool
green, that reaches ever toward
(white open to all color)
sunlight
green, and all that comes out of it
as if it distilled from the
(white open to all color)
sun
an essence of color and bursts
fountainly into
(red blue orange purple yellow
blue-grey white violet pink and
every combination light allows
even other green)
blossoms
green, that turns
(black purple blue)
under the moon
fir spruce hemlock birch maple oak sumac aspen
green
mysteries of chlorophyll
photosynthesis
air light breath
green
(from blue to yellow)
green.
