Banyan

As winter secrets

Melt

With the purple

Sun, 

What is revealed

Is electric 

Notes tune

Unknown scales, 

Syntax alters

Tongues, 

Terracotta melts

White, 

Banyan ribbons

Into armatures

As branch-roots

Twist, meeting

The soil in a circle.

Circuits

Glazed

Under cloth

Carry

Alphabets

For a calligraphers

Nib

Italicized

In invisible ink, 

Letters never

Posted, 

Cartographers

Map, uncharted 

As phrases fold

So do veils.
