Wooden porch holds neon glow
Bayou dusk drinks light below
Cypress knees in water deep
Neon wakes while world asleep
Wooden planks hold root and clay
Quercus virginiana stays
Neon tubes drink swamp perfume
Purple iris breaks the gloom
Neon breathes on cypress knees
Porch light hums in Spanish moss
Taxodium distichum sees
Cordgrass sways at dusk's soft loss
Fireflies trace phosphorus trails
Over Nymphaea fragrant veils
Bass strike deep in silt and sand
I watch the water understand
Neon breathes on cypress knees
Porch light hums in Spanish moss Taxodium distichum sees
Cordgrass sways at dusk's soft loss
Spanish moss drapes live oak arms Tillandsia usneoide charms
Neon flickers steady slow
Roots drink what the sky lets go
Neon breathes on cypress knees
Porch light hums in Spanish moss
Taxodium distichum sees
Cordgrass sways at dusk's soft loss
Seasons turn in Latin names
Neon hums a quiet creed
Taxodium Quercus claims
Roots hold fast the sign agrees
Dawn peels back the velvet veil
Sarracenia catches pale
Neon rests in morning dew
Patient as the soil to you
Neon breathes on cypress knees
Porch light hums in Spanish moss Taxodium distichum sees
Cordgrass sways at dusk's soft loss
Neon sleeps on cypress knees
Taxodium distichum sees
Porch light fades in Spanish moss
Cordgrass sways at dawn's first loss
