Scarred root

I thought of this scarred root that looks like it oozed above the surrounding blacktop when I heard a PRI story (this replayed?) about land disappearing into the sea near the mouth of the Mississippi and in coastal Virginia—I thought of it as rather the opposite…emerging from below. Many times this root, an underground branch of sorts, has suffered attacks, some maybe attempting to level it. And still it grows.
