SOIL
Caring for the land
is caring for our mother,
the Mother of Life—
Soil.
The Soil that feeds us
is being washed away,
blown away
by the tons,
lost to the oceans.
This is our home
the home that feeds us.
I used to know all this,
I lived it,
but that deep caring is gone.
Food gets thrown out,
not composted.
Worms leave to find
richer feeding grounds.
Soil left unnourished.
I am in front of
the computer
feeding my mind.
My body needs to
work—the work
of the Soil.
My neighbor's fava beans
are already up.
What am I waiting for?
