Makeover Valentine

Trained to be a tree
when I was really just
a well-meaning shrub
my arms loped off
until I bled birds
no one knows June
the way I learned
to inject it and to soar
into an upright position
to show them how far
my brain could plunge
into the ground
my pruned fingertips
could flower into heaven
