pomesWatching my daughter turn three
Is like watching an acorn
Bursting
Into the soil and firing roots down to the water and
A trunk roaring up into the sky
Splitting and whooping into branches
And into pale green leaf
And suddenly a sapling
There where a minute ago there was nothing
Only an acorn,
Falling slowly to the ground.

Only an acorn,
Falling slowly to the ground.
