Gray walls hold a steady freeze
Rooted like the ancient trees
Salty wind on empty shores
Locking all the open doors
Plant a seed in static ground
Wait until the bloom is found
Sallow leaves and velvet gold
Stories that the soil will hold
Monoliths of white and blue
Waiting for a morning dew
Sifting through the heavy clay
Watching as the colors stray
Latin names for ghosty vines
Tangled in the power lines
Patient as a winter sleep
Secrets that the rootlets keep
Plant a seed in static ground
Wait until the bloom is found
Sallow leaves and velvet gold
Stories that the soil will hold
Physics break in open air
Floating things beyond compare
Wooden beams and iron rust
Turning every stone to dust
Tending to a broken plot
Finding what the world forgot
Watering the plastic stem
Finding terms to name the gem
Plant a seed in static ground
Wait until the bloom is found
Sallow leaves and velvet gold
Stories that the soil will hold
Rooted in the gray.
Wait for one more day.
