Ficus benjamina leans toward Rue Cler
Sedum roof tiles drink the Seine mist
Chlorophyll maps trace each leaded vein
Photosynthesis paints the glass alive
Root hairs grip the terracotta rim
Copper foil burns where solder kisses
Light fractures through cobalt crown glass
We grow toward the same fractured sun
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
Botanist and artist stitch the spectrum
Vermilion maple leaves in amber panes
Paris breathes through stained and living glass
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
Cobalt blue catches Philodendron heart
Amber solder lines trace Monstera splits
Each glass fragment holds a Latin name
Taxonomy rendered in fire and sand
Root hairs grip the terracotta rim
Copper foil burns where solder kisses
Light fractures through cobalt crown glass
We grow toward the same fractured sun
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
Botanist and artist stitch the spectrum
Vermilion maple leaves in amber panes
Paris breathes through stained and living glass
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
Secateur snips match glass cutter score
Potting soil stains the workbench apron
Haussmann chimneys frame our terrace lab
Germination meets illumination
Night-blooming Cereus opens once a year
Stained glass saints keep vigil through the dark
Both of us wait for the spectrum's return
Patience measured in seasons and firings
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
Botanist and artist stitch the spectrum
Vermilion maple leaves in amber panes
Paris breathes through stained and living glass
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
New frond unfurls where lead lines converge
Variegation mirrored in fractured light
We catalog the day in Latin and hue
Terrace becomes a living cathedral
Leadlight photosynthesis in morning air
Botanist and artist stitch the spectrum
Vermilion maple leaves in amber panes
Paris breathes through stained and living glass
Leadlight photosynthesis — we grow in light
Zinc roofs hold the spectrum
Monstera drinks the dawn
