Healing Tree

Lysosomes are healing enzymes found in tears

Earthen brown humus,
,,,,,,,,,,thick with verdant fungi—
,,,,,,,,,,good soil—
in communities of colours

White roots, fingering deep
down into ground—
,,,,,,,,,,inter-nourishing
connections—
,,,,,,,,,,communities of roots—

tree base camp for all colours of creatures
holey homes, resting places, perches for births
,,,,,,,,,,and eggs—
,,,,,,,,,,twiggy knots for nests—

tree-rings, life-lines, circles of sanctuary—
,,,,,,,,,,xylem and phloem—
life and decay

breath-mist, prism droplets, air exchange—
,,,,,,,,,,in reciprocity with us—

blue clear water

branches greening
,,,,,,,,,,tips towards yellow sun—

fruiting
,,,,,,,,,,in every colour—

‘til seeds fall back to earth—

tree-tears too—

darkening brown rich ground, richer,
again and again …

sap-clear tree-tears too
,,,,,,,,,,are healing
