Shallow roots struggle to find purchase in the stony soil
A newer shoot more suited to the scant dirt grows in its shade
Though it still suffers the shock of being stripped from the banks
Of a cypress-lined stream where bass are born
Being watered now by a flint-flavored flow
Whether it will toughen up the root and stock is yet to be seen
