a family tree


a family tree
                   needs
            buds
to muscle through
       the sea-
sons and
            daughter
                   squirreling
       to the canopy;
while roots
            remain
       a blur of earth
            and parents
work for what
       they’re worth,
            the buds are
what the heavens
       see, raining to
            sustain
a family tree.
