The Branching Tree


Trees grow up into air
like arteries under the skin,
branching and branching,
yet fed from one root.

Turned upside down,
the singular root is also
an ever-branching ball
of tendrils in the dirt.

One diversity feeds another.
One is a tree.
Ten thousand things are a tree.
Branches that reflect one another.
