The Toronto Music
Garden
The old hard hat geometry
of the cities of this world
speed-straithing highways
has freed up this ground
out from under its heavy-lid
concrete/asphalt sarcophagus.
Reborn in sunlight it is
the garden it is meant to be.
HOORAY!
Our heavy lidded eyes once
saw only Fugi-san's
Euclidian perfection.
Now Mandelbrot's fractal/quaternion
new millennium geometryrefocusses
every mountain'
and microcosm, the whole
Creation into eye-of-God beauty.
HOORAY!
Guerilla fighters saving
old enclaves in this city
tree by tree, cottage and
house, armed with council hearings
whisper this comfort into
the branches of our beloved trees:
This is the beginning of
the world as parkland regenerated.
HOORAY!
Once a mulberry worm spun
her silk wings in fantastic colour
and flew to her kindred
spirit in the emperor's kimono
they rested there the four
of them - eternal quaternion -
self-reflective - anticipating
the millennium flying toward us.
HOORAY!
