Green

Leighann Summers

Still, cool, droplets creep down dark veins-
Falling far along the deep crevices dawning every day.
Pooling into soft ponds polluted with bright fluorescent algae.
Gills pulse through miraculously oxygenated currents.
Flowing red fish migrate through the wondrous white waters every year.
Growing their numbers in hopes offspring survive them.
Pills, beating with the heart of an unhatched fry are abundant-
Floating mindlessly in the riveting ripples.
Soaring above the waves, curious creatures prepare for their next meal.
All attributed to the pioneers of it all.
The rigid autotrophs responsible for energy availability.
The grass, the trees, the leaves of this world-
All made up of one color.
Green.
