fiddlehead etiolation

  

Wind tamps at bracken, lifting lufts 

Their tresses untrammeled 

Brow temple unheathered the winter song dried 

No need the plume 

Their reach exceed grasp other than child pluck 

Into sunlight on a window jamb

From crypt of cousined self 

The brood elbows to sun's breadline 

Shoot skeets toward skotomorphogenesis 

(Fingers dig dictionary ) 

The cotyledon towers in germination untranspired  

Still a bird in a jar  

His grandfather's fiddle buried, exhumed 

The night work unpainted a rembrandt shifts tuning toward photosynthesis, 

From blue grey to green
