Root naga

Out in the grass

up for air and light

thick as a rope

tethering a ship in port

root anchors tree.

Tells me

it has as much right

as grass to be here

and will defy my mower

if it comes too close

Until trees

grow legs and walk

he will stay

only an ax, a shovel and a saw

will make him leave
