Monstera leaves track dawn's first light
Aerial roots drink dew at night
Terra cotta holds the chill
Hyphae drink the quiet still
Steel cable sings at twelve meters
Boots count beats on woven fibers
Three hundred steps to terrace edge
Paris rooftops pledge by pledge
Wire and root both hold the line
One drinks rain one drinks the shine
Counting steps or counting days
Balance finds its quiet ways
Wire and root both hold the line
Ficus benjamina drops a leaf
Wind calculates its own belief
Zinc terrace railing cold as bone
Roots and wires both make home
Wire and root both hold the line
One drinks rain one drinks the shine
Counting steps or counting days
Balance finds its quiet ways
Wire and root both hold the line
Morning fog lifts slow and thick
Botanist counts with measured click
Cable hums a low deep sound
Seed
