In all of its parts a rose is rose
in every petal it is complete
likewise each millimetre in this continent’s outline
always equals the whole of its coast
and the slightest wisp of mist
the biggest skyfilling cloud, so
a rose right down to the tiniest
outline of every single petal
and the space suffused with molecules
of scent between these petals is that rose
and does not know it.
