Phototropism
Will sunflowers still
know who to search for,
if the tanks march in?
They have a covenant with
the sky, but their roots
are in the land, and
there's no guarantee
they get to keep
that title deed.

A very interesting, and clever piece.
I have a feeling that this has more to it than the plight of sunflowers "if the tanks march in".

Thank you, Stephen! ?
(I just happened to remember the word from A-Level Biology ?.)
I didn't know the word, but with the poem it makes perfect sense.
