Well, it goes like this:
The trees speak first.
(I’ve learned the most imposing generally do.)
They’re all into “wssshhh” and “hmmmff” and leave
plotted enunciation to smaller woven knotted twigs.
(Twigs know how to say it, though.)
And winding up the walls a shock of ivy,
tendrils under shadow,
creep in dark phrases and sing low like bubbling.
(Never imposing but impressionable.)
Chimes twinkle soprano;
lavender vibrato in harmony with arching, resolute columns.
(They sing flat and nobody notices.)
But the last to speak:
high up flitting and falling,
sharp turns through sharp blue
with light that deems dance in no way silly,
two leaves twirl and say nothing at all but for the indescribable
“tup”
as they land
side-by-side.
(And nobody can marvel at the effort it takes to say even that.)
