His equilibrium subject to the heat
and pressure deep
in the earth
between crust and core –
and then he dropped
into a Snow White sleep
Many fretted the potential shearing off of
his historical edges –
but then he woke his vision once burnt
revived expanded –
diamond tough to make a kaleidoscope
catalogue now of his eyes chronology
of roots and flowering trees Heavenly
names that came before to pollinate
reveal the thin, scraped soft skin
the surface of catching up
of blowing burst dandelion kisses
Tiredness relinquished Garden dirt
turning again in his receptive hands.
