Upgrowing

He bore His roots from the sky


and strongstood.


absorbing the warmth of vehicles


as they rushed by at hundredspeeds


at friction with the clouds,


rubbing out oxymorons,


pockets and echelons,


in the airwaves.


proposing, talking with His hands


even to Himself,


wanting to wash them


without water.


collecting from the smoke on the freeways,


mistakes.


mistakes in permanent marker,


journeys lived in parentheses.


leaving knots of conversation


to signal the places where someone


had considered Him.
