(found in my journal dated 1-8-09 and this draft is 1-1-10)
This fortress is chipped in places
And worn smooth in others.
The brokenness along the branches
Is distinct to one sex.
Wood chips and leaves tumbling down
And yet this tree stands firm
because of those roots
who are not their father's gender.
Will this pass on to my son?
