If I Were A Tree Poem by Mark Heathcote

If I Were A Tree



If I were a tree
a Rowan, I would be
sitting unaided on an ancient wall,
looking both-wise which way, not to fall.

Yes, here would I perch, between the two.

… To feel my redraw clay roots in you
that signal red-leaf is a star's light shone through.
A pagan people in whose love the woodworm grew
in circles flame; unending, around me and you.
