Copper spine above the sidewalk cracks
Turns slow above the saxophone tracks
Quercus roots would know this oxidation
Patina blooms without conversation
Verdigris nights on Rush Street basement glass
Jazz notes rise like vapor through the brass
Monstera leaves would curl toward that glow
Photosynthesis in the undertow
Hofner bass walks chromatic down the scale
Wurlitzer chords exhale a copper veil
Acer rubrum drinks the amber hue
Xylem carries night to morning dew
Tenor voice cracks clean on minor nine
Falsetto climbs the verdigris vine
Phloem transports sugar through the dark
Roots remember every basement spark
Verdigris nights on Rush Street basement glass
Jazz notes rise like vapor through the brass
Monstera leaves would curl toward that glow
Photosynthesis in the undertow
Sub-bass shakes the loam beneath the floor
Crisp transients tap like rain on greenhouse door
No lyrics needed for the growth to show
Silent as the chemistry we know
Dawn arrives on Clark and Division street
Vane catches first light turns slow and sweet
Chlorophyll wakes in planters by the stair
Another night dissolves into the air
Verdigris nights on Rush Street basement glass
Jazz notes rise like vapor through the brass
Monstera leaves would curl toward that glow
Photosynthesis in the undertow
Copper breathes where music used to flow
Verdigris holds what music leaves behind
Patient rooted aligned
