I am
curled inward
one point
dark green leaves and
dense roots
light the way
parts of me are so deeply planted
that even I can't uproot them
embryonic paisley
unfurling
uncurling
I am born again

Hi, Jeanne. A fiddlehead is the edible, curled head of a fern. It looks weird but is delicious. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddlehead_fern
