Cypress knees break black water skin
Taxodium stands where dusk begins
Transformer hums a nitrogen song
Mercury wakes where wires belong
I photosynthesize in argon gas
A spectral bloom on porch wood mass
No chlorophyll in copper wire
Just spectral fire burning higher
Tillandsia drinks the heavy air
Cypress shadows stretch and flare
Spartina blades cut current slow
Roots hold fast in undertow
I photosynthesize in argon gas
A spectral bloom on porch wood mass
No chlorophyll in copper wire
Just spectral fire burning higher
Dragonfly rests on cathode crown
Libellula lays her body down
Muddy bank exhales methane breath
Sign keeps watch through mud and death
I photosynthesize in argon gas
A spectral bloom on porch wood mass
No chlorophyll in copper wire
Just spectral fire burning higher
Ballast hums a lullaby
Voltage drops as night draws nigh
Xylem flows in glass confine
Patient root in electric line
Morning pulls the bayou sheet
Dew condenses on glass feet
Gas discharge begins to fade
Photosynthesis newly made
I photosynthesize in argon gas
A spectral bloom on porch wood mass
No chlorophyll in copper wire
Just spectral fire burning higher
Argon blooms forever higher
Rooted deep in glass and fire
Argon glows in violet veins
Rooted deep in glass and rain
