"Green Sea" by Francine Henderson Dissolve, Disintegrate, Devolve
Turn to green, flakes of lichen
Don't make it all the way to hue or bone
Holding cellular bands together they rise
Clinging to the temporarily permanent treeComing in three varieties, the People
Of sea, forest, mountain glade
Silver, brown, aqua green
Shimmering effervescence
To turn the process
On its mossy, seaweed bed.
