Each place grows its own community;
but planetary systems
circulate, and the land lives
a
Janusian
life:
rivers
seep
down,
volcanos blast up and over, wildlife trots, crawls,
flies, swims
past
boundaries
we draw between each
other, as our prayers
rise toward
a
heaven that blots out a universe's brighter light.
Beyond
imagination a
talking tree
is still
assumed to
grow like
all plants the earth hums
through
roots
and rhizomes that
identifiy as not being but becoming.
