The girl understands my words. My texture,
Different though. Communication to grass,
An anecdote. The wind is sweet. The flowers
Are syllables, structured Japanese Haikus.
The agency of moves is Euclidean. The places
Are signals. No fixed premise to stay, rather,
The habitual transformations from lips to
Ears, glass to stone, canteen to library,
Lake to garden, art to craft; hovering.
Intricacy is cardamom; no adieu either.
