An evocative poem about spring that transcends from the mundane to divine, by Vinita – an exclusive for Different Truths.
line of the landscape run through me to somewhere else - Zoë Skoulding
Earth in spring wide slits of tulip red over carnation crimson fiercely yellow laburnum secret-purple jacaranda Once a tree, a tree forever, crowding headfirst into each other fingers of roots in a handclasp underground Brahm and Mozart Spilling into the cosmos Wafting over freshly mown grass Antiseptic sunlight musk of calyx heavy notes of mango blossoms ripening summer moods Seeds speaking to the terracotta fragrance of soil bursting into a language understood by all The rhythm of spring - smooth as alabaster turning land from a barren brown to alizarin green. Father so taken, he prays every time he spots a bird.
