Snow Buckwheat

In Autumn

on steep slopes

by the dusty path

snow buckwheat’s pale pink

browns as September cools,

dropping seeds

sprouting in the wet and cool

of the autumn

where its tap roots

soak up moisture—

the roots 

an anchor, grounding

its home

a conduit, conveying

sustenance to the stem

seeking the warmth of the sun,

leaves ready for new growth

in spring
