How do you convey
The is-ness or the where-ness of a tree?
Here it is here
And will be for life
I wonder if it knows where
Its parent tree stands?
If somehow in that knowledge
That trees store underground
It knows the path back to its beginning
From here
To there
From this place to that place?
I wonder if there is such a thing as
The songline of a tree
And if a song is being sung even now
Beneath my feet
