In a new poem set among the cyclamen-carpeted floor of the Vikos Gorge, Irish poet Moya Cannon turns a small pink flower into a philosophical question: why does a universe of tectonic violence and geological grandeur pause to make something purely beautiful? Addressing Gaia as both laborer and artist, Cannon suggests that the creation of useless, ornamental life is not an accident of nature but perhaps its most deliberate act. The poem asks us to reconsider what we mean by purpose, and whether beauty itself might be reason enough.
