The Root
the root:
network alive,
compacted labyrinth of tuber and hair
fleshy rootstalk,
rhizome;
ever-penetrating
elemental
growth
nonchalant
about expressiveness: leafy
chlorophyll
digesting the sun,
all the fluttering green.
a heave
and a birth
then the myriad forms:
eucalyptus, palm
birch, bay laurel
a grove, glade, and thicket.
we look
in vegetable mirrors:
see
artistry,
humility,
a subterranean organ being
conscious
not of fear
nor pride
nor even its leafy wonder.
