In blade
of grass
in the
most complex of leaves –
coconut in
stars and contrast,
the
support seeking vine
weed and
the first shoots of rice,
embedded
love
varied
narratives
there are
weaves
to be
observed
to gather
as poetry
or between
leaves of
favorite books
favorite books
pressed
and color-captured
and yet
slipping through
the
fingers of classification,
like
poetry in other languages
where only
the music of
rhythm and rhyme
rhythm and rhyme
and
alliterative essence
provide
code
for
caressing but not ownership
of ancient
things
in pretty,
colored, contemporary
beat and
pause.

these coconut leaves , the weeds and the rice have their own stories of the ways they have been nurtured and raised just like for those poetry in other languages , their roots may differ but voices the same art I guess :)
