see how
her body
births the roots
whose woven
and splintered threads
will bring her sustenance
and hold her
to the ground
when the winds, the slanting rains,
and the weight of snow
threaten to close
the cycle of her existence
see
how she is so much
like you and i
this one's
for dan who loves the trees
and knows how filled with wisdom they really are
