Wind, rain and SNOW effect their changes  - it is after all just paper set out of doors in April in Toronto. Not usually a "lamby" month. Here was the view a couple of hours ago.

Several phrases came down  with the wind, too.
They have been restored and augmented
with more directions from Kati Agósc, this time from her work Requiem Fragment for Symphony Orhchestra

Crystalline and rhapsodic
Blooming (with warmth)
Resonant, propulsive
Much faster (mercurial and sparkling)
 - spacious
Searing...
Suddenly delicate
Hushed, rich resonant
Mystical (serene, icy)
A continuous trajectory through....
Iconic (in broad strokes)
Pulling back slightly (lyrically)
Flowering
In full bloom (regal)
Shards of broken glass

And a few directions from Eric Satie - translated into English from Eric Satie - A Mammal's Notebook  Ornella Volta ed. Atlas Press 1996.

A bit rococo but slow
Alone, for a moment
Almost invisible
Be invited
Bury the sound
Caeremoniosus
Calm without slowness
Dance inwardly
Do not torment yourself
Enigmatic
Fold gently
Full of subtlety, if you believe me
Grandly forgetting the present
In one breath
Laugh without anyone knowing
Like a nightingale with a toothache
On yellowing velvet
Very far away
Visible for a moment

I will compose some sort of grandiose "artist's statement". Eventually.
I thought I might make something of a puzzle rhyme and post it on a tree or the fence because though I wish it were self evident, it is not and apart from graffiti, Toronto is not what you call over decorated by citizen art or poetry, however tenuous, so some explanation is needed.
My first draft:
mmmmheh no good
Second try
and the one that actually got posted, for now....

 I reserve the right to change these at will, if the weather doesn't do it first...
