roots going
where do roots go when you move the tree
maybe stay where they are. old folk don’t like change
maybe they dissolve into birds. fly higher
maybe sprout fingers, playing in the dirt
counting is like memory, going the other way
but then I’m no tree. maybe a shrub

I should like to be a bird, I think. Or a tree root. All that cool earth, with room to grow.
