vegetal empire.
superstructure/the green matrix.
seed bank. the initial investment/grows.
menaced by its negation/engineered to usurp
The Green Man-
sterile as a mule/
not blown on dandelion winds/
or bourne along bee-flank/buzzing/among meadowsweet/
not burr in sheep-wool/or spinning
sycamore propeller/revolving round the weighted axis/
but poem recast as prose/
the song flattened into speech/
so the meaning is lost/in the translation.
