Appearances




o that tree

you know the tree

and every leaf and twig and branch

you feel it to the vein

its very trunk is where you’ll keep

your sprouting memories

hidden from view

cherished with love

nurtured until fulfilment, and beyond

protected

and always when it rains,

it’ll be the roots that take the strain

reliably, lovingly

converting into growth from pain
