065. Green Man

Nature and lines intersecting. Is it true that nature has no straight lines? Even the horizon is curved when you take the bigger picture... but of course, crystal structure is full of straight edges, diamond hard or deliquescent salts. Today I was inspired by Emily Ayres' "balloon man" picture of nature with lines, and used this to develop the green theme further in "glowleaves"

your fingers wriggle through me, tracing lines across my inside organs                          

your breath filled my lungs and you oxygenated me, my blood                          

was redder because of you, chlorophyll creature, sessile one                          

you stay there, I will come by and pick the droops, my reward                          

for tending your blossoms when you drew me to you, and for                          

keeping the birds off
