Rise

Are you sure it’s less of a lie
To say the whole Earth spins this tree,
This one tree to stand up to sun,

Than to say that the sun must rise
From the hills to shine on this tree?
Yes, the Earth’s more pulled by the sun,

Than sun by the Earth, but the bend,
The dent in the law’s long, curled strength,
Dwells with light as well as with dense.
