Uprooted

some of us live

uprooted,

swaying in our search 

for space, for a place 

in time.

some of us live 

rooted,

to the unmoving nativity 

of place,

seeking motion

in space.

but all of us are alive,  

in the space between places 

rooted, uprooted, 

moving, unmoved, 

swaying,

still.
