Forest Water Color
by Andrea Ferrari (aferrari@stmariy.edu.ar)
Time-lapsed clouds
roll like pigment on watered paper
blackgreywhite
dampening green, greening light.
Lichen eyes spread
their watch further, turn owls, merge
and defuse.
You tread the dark soil in rain
unafraid of thunder in the distance
going in
going into
a jungle of water
dissolving the edges of leaves
and trees
and you
sudden watercolor of the soul
Really liked this poem.

This is exquisite. The first verse is so delicious I keep murmuring it to myself to taste the sound of the words again. 🥰
