earth note 548


when the soil becomes restless
as it does without warning
it pulls all warmth
out of each of us
digests the nurturing
and toxins alike
waits for an answer
in moonlight
chases the magic
of song
until it becomes
many visions
for the hedonist
to the martyr
from the sophist
to the mechanic

the trees stand limp today
this is a statement
not a fear
it's prudent to let the body
find its own solitude
drink its share
find its own grace
