NATURE Poem: Mother Earth, Mathematician, by Becca Saul

Measuring the weight and worth
of unborn wildflowers
riding the horizon slung wide on winds
clutched in starling beaks
a confluence emerging from
chance graphs of sunlight
plotted points of rain showers
carrying fragile starbursts of amethyst
unfurling painted tongue blossoms
dying back to form silent instruments
shattered scattered seed songs
calculatingly complex
quadratic bursts of potential
freed fractals crushed underfoot
spilling to broken earth
churning multiplication of the finite
loamy crumbs and verdant blades
thrust between equations of twilight and dawn
