Father: Visiting Hours

To have him see me 
see his face, tree roots
ripping through the clay,
branches out, supplicating,

holy haunting
            a heavenly CHORUS

convex/concave

Well sung and wellness danced
enlightening/empowering 
political/ecological raves.

Soulfully singing
left/right bicameral winging
slow dancing scribes
recircling EarthTribe sacred praise.
