seedling,

you bring

you feel

an echo

in your self

separating

 

and there’s an opening

in the twining reach.

***

In the beginning was the word


Hear

  it is still here.

Here, it is still.

 

Here

it is in your ear.

 

Hear it,

it is in your heart.

***

The Vine


is anointed, an ointment of Nature

which leaves, its truth

 

rises, subscribes to the City

embarked on bricks -no tree

 

sanctions our progress,

though it is to her

we are appointed to.
