the details of the petal’s form
are greater than the sun’s even pattern
where in the peril of beautiful turn
the crown is of its crowning a poem
a construction over something unknown
that lives as a power achieved in a bloom
the scissors of a skill carved to blossoms
from nothing but air, seed, water, and earth
Source of a power of life over art
so art is freer and starts with constraints
or breaking from rules to whatever waits
by word a rose has no name as flowery
but that one which consists of harmony
the whole earth as a gentle sine qua non
