The Grapplers
The spindly aspen tree roots
are bony
fleshless hands
just waiting to reach out with their ice-cold grip
and trip a passer-by in the penetrating darkness.
Popping out of the earthy
Wormy dirt,
They twist and bump,
generously donating a stubbed toe.
Though they hide underneath the dark
They make themselves known.
