I can't climb the tree

You are the day after I sleep
Hold my bitter tea leaves
In your cracked palms

The morning brings butter on toast
And the sun
It is warm on my toes

I can't climb the tree
with the fragile limbs
gentle like my grandfather

You can spread you hands open
To hold my morning mind
And I will go to find
A tree that I can climb
