dendrite soul, deciduous heart

do you know (i believe) you are a dendrite soul

(i know we are all) searching for fixed (but where have you found any) points

of reference, (to grasp with your branches)

troubling this rooted bundle of nerves and

deciduous heart to make a firm decision

to stem the sapling flow of fears?


what patch of earth can satisfy this surging force of life which strives?


oh to be (but won’t I collapse)

in the plot planned for

(this exact earthy moment)

my very soul
