They feast on photosyntheses
get drunk on wine of sap
and raindrop stout
tremble
with excitement
at the news wind tells about:

There is to be a show
at La Galerie de la Terre et le Ciel –
the establishment with clout –
a presentation
of their collective works
(a retrospect no doubt)
for this colony of artists
free spirits; bohemian hang abouts.

The latest gossip in their rustle?
Did you hear that it’s a performance piece
and what the theme is all about?
