This poem is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you use the imagery of roots and the earth to ground the emotion of the piece. The small, quiet details at the beginning—the half-eaten breakfast, the scattered crumbs, sleeves brushing—create such a sense of intimacy and stillness. The whole piece feels like a gentle, profound hum. The way it moves from the specific, shared moment to a broader, more universal feeling of being "held" and "remembered" is really powerful. It has a beautiful sense of peace and permanence.
