Roots Poem by The Poet SPIEL

Roots



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
