Quercus roots seek limestone cracks
Taxodium drinks where water tracks
Mycorrhiza threads through ancient loam
Patience measured in seasons' tome
Carabiner clips on galvanized strand
Lanyard locked to tower's steady hand
Footfall counts the catenary sag
Wind reads zero on the angle tag
Wire and root both hold the sky
Zinc roofs glow where swallows dive
One counts steps in patient time
Paris breathes in carbon light
Chlorophyll drinks the morning haze
Roots absorb the nitrogen phase
Apical tip claims vertical space
Lateral roots grip limestone base
Wire and root both hold the sky
Zinc roofs glow where swallows dive
One counts steps in patient time
Paris breathes in carbon light
Carabiner secateurs same steel
Both know the weight that tension reveals
Footfall rhythm matches root pulse deep
Paris holds the secrets that we keep
Rung by rung the ascent begins
Boot soles bite on galvanized rungs
Insulator discs catch morning frost
Clearance measured never lost
Secateurs trim the lime tree crown
Carabiner locks the anchor down
Root and wire both span the air
Paris wakes in golden glare
Wire and root both hold the sky
Zinc roofs glow where swallows dive
One counts steps in patient time
Paris breathes in carbon light
Zinc and loam share the same dawn
Twelve string fades on open air
