Rooted

I thought of Screen Shot 2018-04-17 at 11.34.34the tree’s roots, as I bunched them together and posted them down into the letter box slit of claggy soil, as a message to the earth’s core.

Or as a slow signal from the future tree’s top up to some travelling star.

Or back, through curtains of time, to a gnarly-handed Neanderthal kneeling in the dirt, pushing a seed into the soil.

And perhaps that Neanderthal is thinking forward, just as I am thinking back.
