I am in a small garden
Looking at Jeppe Hein’s
Waterflame
It is surreal
Almost beyond comprehension
Water and flame at one together
Maybe the artist
Was a chemist, or a physicist
Or a close relation
Of Guy Fawkes
Described elsewhere as:
Opposing elements co-existing
To create a paradoxical
Visual effect in an
Illusion of cooperative relationship
I too was taken
But think that I partially
Understand
The slights of hand
Of both of these magician’s tricks
