Ever uprooted

Ever uprooted

Break my back
contour me yellow
Sum me up
Sun me down
Funnel me through the dreamtime
flowing and mellow

Steer me through
madness of the times
where only
my pale rhymes
lift me through the coursing fires
of will that transpires

Ill-suited
midnight owl hooted
Eyes to skies
toes recant
Face and feet on upward slant
Ever uprooted
