birthday kiss
your family tree is neither straight nor tall
the branches twist and sideways reach
but the roots go deep, through sewer and hidden seam
impervious to rot
your family tree is neither straight nor tall
the branches twist and sideways reach
but the roots go deep, through sewer and hidden seam
impervious to rot

that cracks the trees’ bark, but the
new growth from within
is it the spring breeze
that makes me shiver, or the
moon, reading my thoughts?
unsolved paradox:
teaching kids about peace while
giving them nerf guns
