For Griffin

Tree song

Roots grow down 
Branches reach up
We're not going anywhere

Slowly sway into each other
The trees in the forest won't fall
So we learn their names

The trees in the forest won't leave 
So we trace each crevasse
In the ash bark

We memoize the dimples in the maple
The curls of the birch
The chipping cherry

And as we learn we spread our branches
Out to catch the sunlight
We're not going anywhere.
