Green. Varieties. Shades of. A name. A new deal. A proposal.


chartreuse buds beading above moss
dappled shamrocks
fragrant healing of sage, laurel,
mint, basil, thyme, rosemary, myrtle
amid the tall wonders of juniper
pine, olive, pear
even the meeting of sea and river—
the sky, an intermingling of viridian and chetwode horizons, 
and cerulean clarity—
offers its green seafoam, 
its seaweed pats, 
the crocodile at the edge of a freshwater marsh
its teeth open gritted in green
against the backdrop of hunter rainforest
dripping in green

making life on a palette, Raina J. León
