Beneath the dewy grass you seep,
Wispy tendrils splayed out as complex
Networks of finely-woven threads.
Breaking through the earthy tomes
Your tempting fruits throb buoyantly;
A myriad of insignia that litter the landscape,
Revealing your presence in cascades of colour.
We map the subtleties of your tone,
Decomposing this aural splendour into:
Hue,
Saturation,
Lightness.
A histogram of colour that
Renders your brilliance into
Pixelated grayscale.
Picking through these pigments
We plot the frequency of fruit,
Charting it against climatic change
To reveal patterns that two-step
Across the page with regimented precision.
Your shadows darkening with
Increasing frigidity;
Glimpses of this complex web of stories
That lie buried beneath your surface.
