No,
The root is to be pulled out-
Out of the anchoring earth;
It is too be roped, tired,
And pulled out- snapped out
Or pulled out entirely,
Out from the earth- cave,
And the strength of the tree exposed,
The source, white and wet,
The most sensitive, hidden
For years inside the earth.
Then the matter
Of scorching and choking
In sun and air,
Browning, hardening,
Twisting, withering,
And then it is done.
