I garden. A place plays with blooms and grafts.
She flowers. As act defying pots to shards.
We tender. As biddings without compete.
It heeds. A time for decay’s decanting a lead.

As time’s bidding acts onto this place’s play.
Garden flowers tender for heeds.
Blooms defying without decay.
Grafts shard to compete and lead.

For with’s defying without
Decanting places blooming time
Leading gardens grafting heeds
Decay plays pots with tender

words ‘r’ weeds as a-pole-a-pad-a-leaf-as-paddle
for where the imaginary butterfly perched
evanescently phrasing a choreographed calligraphy
for a hovering mind to flutter a stanza anew.
