You turned me upside down. A tree
with stars between its roots. Eventually,
come days of rain and after days
of sun,
Perhaps my roots
will learn to bud
in leaves and blooms,
As limbs and branches
learn to drink from grounds
where they lie spread, entombed.
Then I could know what you have done
and call it luck, not fate
or doom.

drink from the groundswell.
