roots
not like the stench of that
early place where
roots grew deeper
than trees grew tall
being downward bound
and insistently struggling
toward a skimpy well
of doubtful tomorrows
and the leaves of summer
wore masks of pain
but like that reassuring smell
of yesterdays where
no matter how fearful
my nightmares had been
i knew at least
i would waken
and they would end
