HABITAT
elm,
live to be 200 years old.
longer than me
I'm nearly over
and maybe you
.
Sometimes called red elm,
gray elm you are ,
you grow best
in moist, wet pussyfied soil,damp in
rich soils
full of longing
of lower slopes
where hands grope
and flood plains that come like a wave then are gone totally,
and although become dry hillsides
the Elm lies in
with limestone soils.
It is abundant
and associated
with wet Slippery places
the hard strong wood
is The tree
I the seeds are but now a minor source of food.
It has long been cultivated but succumbs to love.
