If not a fig tree
There are rhizomes
If not rhizomes
There are tubers
If not tubers
There are succulents
If not succulents
Wildflowers
And above these there are birds
There are perching birds
There are warblers
There are raptors
There are ducks
There are arctic species
And these whirl above oil derricks
On their migratory journeys like tornados
