 poetry PALINDROME by Mary Lou Buschi Born inside a root. Every periphery a turning.
Thoughts forked down below the tilling,
below the possibility of light.
The invisible world composed of branches.
I hold a child’s face, trace the tender lines. The idea of him set still in a high birch.
The idea of him set still in a high birch,
trace the tender lines, I hold a child’s face.
Of branches, the invisible world is composed,
below the possibility of light, below the tilling, thoughts forked down.
Every periphery a turning, born inside a root.
