Through the transparent glass in my window I stare,
Among flatlands, the sight of a hill is quite rare.

Magical still, though it’s the city-owned dump!

low looming clouds drape
rich fertile furrows
loaded with buried tulip bulbs
launching necessary nourishment
to carefully cultivated beds

scores of  fresh Spring blooms
arise in symphonic, harmonic accord 

awakening serene landscape...

blanketing verdant flatlands
with sheets of vibrant colors

for a brusque season

I pause in awe
at Earth's lavish artistry...

I stood by the nightfall
of stilly midsummer
withering away

of perfunctory morrow
drifted with driftwood
into the vast greenish seas

willows and poplars
entwined and enthralled
and according to accordion
divine divers live in flatlands...
