Hi
Edwin Lehrter 
! Welcome to WDC! The Random Review button brought me to your poem, and I'm very happy to review it for you!

I absolutely love you alliteration and voice in this poem! Here are some of my favorite lines: "sticky-sweet, sweaty, standstill," "The wind in the walnuts is breathing in my lungs / The birdsong in strange, sweet, and intimate tongues," and "To sink roots in good ground / To grow and be still." You have a way with words. I like the repetition in the heart of the poem as well

Good work!

There are only a couple small and very minor edits I would recommend. You are missing a space in two lines below:
In the bright, heady, gloom
(here)of the nearest and dearest
The birdsong in strange, sweet,
(here)and intimate tongues

The other edits I would recommend is to add a couple extra genres to your poem. This helps other writers find your piece to review when they search the site for specific genres. Some I think might fit with your poem are: Biographical, Experience, or Personal.

Thank you for sharing your writing and welcome to WDC! Let me know if you have questions about the site!
Take care,
Emily
