Rivulets of roots
One over the other
Entwined
Spreading out in a pattern
The gnarled fingers
Hugging the earth
Not minding the soil
Clinging
In the crevices
Wrinkled though I may get Wherever in dimension we may be I will hold on to you, Mother So I don’t fall
Or, is it you holding on to me So I don’t fall?
