The Stars Have Roots

Imagine that the stars have roots
just below the surface.
That dangle down for nourishment
and crack the Earth of Purpose.

Then take the dawn to circle round
what others hope to grow.
While making what comes natural from
the facts remade to sough.

And wander through the gatherings
that other stars will hold.
To take the time to answer them
on other farms of fold.
