Subject: snap - climbers
the climbers climb, hundreds
growing one from the other,
extending like the lively hair of the dead,
a different species
surprised by its autonomy;
a deep groove has stayed in this wall
like a carriage rut for decades.
now this many-faced, many-fingered tree
in the nook of rubble, slender & entrepid,
sends its satellites climbing on the
hinge of a bendy wire¯
they are the wheel this cranny
has waited for. turning slower than
the clock of the sky that feeds them
in the tick-tick of seconds made honey,
made nuclear, then chloroplast¯
the leaves ascend their flags,
leave a green kingdom behind.
