Notes About The Poem

TANGLED ROOTS

Soft hands fold laundry, laughter spills like loose buttons~ warmth in wrinkled sheets. No blood binds us, yet we stay~ roots tangled, holding the earth.

Hello Sara, like catching a small domestic moment and realizing it’s actually the whole story. I like how the roots show up last, almost shy, but absolutely true. Blessings, Daniel
