Replenish the earth
Let our language set direction
Neither rubbish nor garbage
remains of tomatoes
shreds of uneaten lettuce
cobs of corn, fallen leaves
wishing to become fertile soil
Simple to give back to the earth
what we do not eat
what falls from trees
trees that speak through the compacted traces of what once greened the surround
trees know dirt
Earth feels trussed
entrapped
bound by asphalt ribbons
her breathing inhibited with concrete masks
her pores overcoated by too much everything
Replenish the earth
darken the soil
get generous with peels
soggy coffee grounds
wilted daffodils
Make new dirt!
