Machina Ex Deus

“Each spring the chrysanthemum’s astringent

fragrance comes, revealing the hidden mechanism 

of machine within machine within machine.”

                                                      Wallace Stevens

A tornado is wind and water 

organized, no intent, yet powerful,

undeniable…..a life; carbon, oxygen,

hydrogen manifesting with a story line,

an attitude, from nowhere. 

A bus stop speaks for itself.
