Is it possible
to have a deep-rooted tree
growing inside me?
A descendant of
the Nordic Yggdrasil or
an old Finnish birch?
Not a spruce or pine;
a leafy tree that changes
as the seasons shift
A lean and sturdy
trunk, strong limbs, and once a year
a glorious crown
Not this year, maybe
not the next, but one day this
tree will bloom again
