leaves of trees and letters
of words related by
birth
a whirling of imagination
of a clever people
ciphers
of an alphabet were given
names of particular seeds
that
trees came to be
the meeting place of spirits
complete and twist-turning
sounds and the mathematical
repeating
the intertwining circles
of parallel worlds, the poems
memorized and interpreted
facing what cannot be seen
it
is an act of will, a life’s work
and nothing else, but
love can show how
i found my tree. in ogham
oak
is the fourth letter
D with lobed leaves with
generous curve of waves
reaching far from western shores
where we
now live, now feel
the rings in our embrace and
the knots of our own making
