the barren .....stripped landscape is transformed.........
it re-emerges..................................................................
and is re-settled
and the old re-turns....
and the new becomes.....old
and the old becomes new
the native cerrado palm tree[first inhabitant] reemeges
beneath and around
and the land belongs to them
the lush tropical vegetation is ‘settled’ between the pilotis
a simple proposition...
a proposition of return
‘vertiginous growth cobbled
together a dense, teetering clutter in a little over a generation’ and
now it must re-settle
and the old re-turns....
and the new becomes.....old
and the old becomes new
and the fl ora returns...
and the fauna returns.....
and the old re-turns....
and the new becomes.....old
and the old becomes new
and the ecological park is now all around us.
and now the residents float above the green..
and the green defines the hills....
