Green Ferns - Dripping green, Cool green, Growing green Green - green ferns and the tall black trees. Blue light and dark trails - Soft footing, Warm and Wet Growing Things; Hot vapours rising from the fecund earth. Jammy smells, The salal The grape And the huckleberry Waiting for the Sun. Wet woods With leaves, and leaves and leaves - And cool green ferns. |
