to overcome root disturbance
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
in the morning before you go
reach to the brightest tomato
jut your chin to her highest vine
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
kiss her skin
feel your stem ache
and roots firm
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
plant her against your heart
press 5-6-7-8
sing a song of 9
let it serve 3
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and remind them all
past, present, future
you will be tall
no matter where you stand
