Family Tree Poem by Bryan Corbett

Family Tree



roots gnarled
tangled and twisted
beneath the soil
ever reaching

water

branches crooked
wicked and lifted
up to the sky
ever beseeching

sun
Light

through dark depths
and vertigo heights
endless days
mendless nights
we seek to nourish
ourselves

from the past
and in the present

shameful roots
disgraceful heights
and, yet,
eventually, we all
hang
from our family tree
