Fractal

Mycenas, Greece - 2007








Fractal
Esther Jansma


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.
