A Lattice for the Kiwi-tree

We were pruning our fruit-trees lately

one of it is a Kiwi

oh these Kiwis, how wildly they grow within a year

the Kiwi is a vine you know

it darts out numerous octopus shoots

in search of something to hold on to

whatever they reach they entangle, sometimes...strangle

and if they find nothing they turn

and wind around themselves

creating knots and clutter

they have to be pruned rigorously...and thrive of it

We did not give that Kiwi a proper lattice

to be honest...which is a problem to ponder about

it was everywhere, holding on to anything solid

entangled in itself too...you see, you see

and I looked at that unstable creature

and what it resembled for me

and I state this metaphor:

A true healer can look into the whole being

from it's curled knotted branch-ends

back into the very roots

he can energetically trace back a twig

through all twists and turns and

cut it!....right where it is necessary

right after a sleeping bud and

in that bud, as it is with most trees

is the memory and possibility imbedded

to become blossom and fruit, leaf, a new branch or even root

I have cut the Kiwi back harshly

to a solid, harmonious build-up, right after nice buds

and I built him a proper lattice!

It is on him now though to grow and decide

for leaf, for branch, for blossom and fruit

to freak out or to follow the solid framework

it's all there

it is all about befriending now

There is a purpose in the buds you carry

dear branch of the tree of life...
