earth note 694


when the paper finally unravels
the dogma texts
will take on new forms
grounded and nurtured in dark loam
like sunflower fields
migratory birds
calling out the believers and nonbelievers
     to think
     anew
let the rotting go forward
a new day always begins
like darkness

leave your steel-toed boots behind
toughen your flesh soles
footsteps bare
but the path is clear
