James Fraser Poet Ekphrasis

Dorsiventrally Flattened Leaf

From once lush green, vibrantly alive
This dorsiventrally flattened leaf never dies
It's fragility, nursed to allow ~
Such patience from the artist abounds
By blade and pin such creativity thralls
Again, it's decaying membranes reach out and touch
From the tree of life, this leaf lives on 




.
Written about the craftsmanship of Omid Asadi
whom creates amazing Art from leaves.
