It begins with the water blue biased
sky quiet amid the still leaves
clinging dead to the loft of
limb and reach, the bright
beyond the haggard crown
this ancient engine turning over
water drawn roots on up
this constant exhalation
the work raising the water
above the earth, stretching
plumes to stir the firmament
the trees waving as they dream
the earth at prayer in its sleep.
