one stops digging for roots
so much soil will be shoveled
you gonna sweat it out
dirty yourself sometimes
only to find out that when you
trace a branching root and
know some names, birth and
death dates, and even some
details, and then you tell a
tip that you come from the
line of Juan who was born in 1896,
they may nod without argument
but then they'll find no use of
you and so they continue going
deeper
and for years they had been
doing the same things over and
over again
without you.

they have their own darkness
to keep
and there is no use for whatever
light you are bringing.
