Polysynthesis
Polysyllabic verse of white caps
tree tops obey the wind
abreast of the evening’s vesper
just before bedtime
in the peaceful wilderness
of the painter’s mind
that conceives war and peace
mind that ascends
to the abode of the Great Spirit
monocotyledon
no need for plural in the world
of the creative Monad crafting
colors and rocky bases
short islandic footsteps
of the Almighty who often laughs
at the little and grand
as they cling to their egomanias
no need for liturgy bells chiming
