connections

mycorrhizae

white threads

webs

screens and

antennae

 

buried in loam

 

i’ve got no connection in the woods

 

walking beside the creek

looking for bloodroot

 

to dye mats

of fibers

red to spin

yarns

 

send what we know down the wire

where the trees are cut

back

 

but their roots
