Roots in the Sky (2003)

roots in the sky

and this time look up:

the tree has roots in the sky

to pilot the crystal dimension

between wind and here

look and see how green

the nuts are still in the branches

(8/1/2003)

Green things in trees are clearly a-seasonal for December in Oregon. Clearly, I'm still thinking back on late summer, but it was midsummer when I wrote this six years ago (!). I dislike the cold, except for the delightful snow it plants in the mountains for me to ride down on.
