Weathering the Seasons

shape yourself for sun

wind, snow, rain, roots, trunk, branches:

seeds each born again

ELEPHANT NEVER FORGETS

Fifty pounds holds 4000!

A wheel is like an elephant:
Rolls round
Leaves path
Remembers home.

Rolls round:
A gray trunk curling lip
A footprint circle.

Leaves path:
A track in mud
A tread to herd and bed.

Remembers home:
Walks o’er and o’er
The tribe’s worn orb.
