An unseen ruler defines with geometry |
|
An unrulable expanse of geography |
|
An aerial photographer over-exposed |
|
To the cartologist's 2D images knows |
|
The areas where the water flowed |
|
So petrified, the landscape grows |
|
Straining eyes try to understand |
|
The works, incessantly in hand |
|
The carving and paring of the land |
|
The quarter square, the graph divides |
|
Beneath the rule, a country hides |
|
Interrupting my train of thought |
|
Lines of longitude and latitude |
|
Define and refine my altitude |
|
The curtain's undrawn |
|
Harness fitted, no escape |
|
Common and peaceful, duck, flat, lowland |
|
Landscape, canal, canard, water coloured |
|
Crystal palaces for floral kings |
|
A widespread waving span of wings |
|
Witness the sinking of the sun |
|
A deep breath of submission has begun |
