Uncanny
Tree , you suddenly, uncannily stir the ground,
and bring my roots up above
the ground where they ought to sleep
dormant nascent in a vibrant sleep.
The veiled misty presence speaks
the language of a poetics,
a poetics of remembrance
images , words which stir and wake,
their mysterious voices never go to sleep,
and on these uncanny reminders they begin to speak
the language the tree had taught to me.
