On The Soil
On a part,
Both soil and heart-
“I’ll run into open minds and arms”;—
‘Til we tangle all together, and-
Fall all apart-On the soil,
-we rot and ferment,
Becoming microscopic and to sprout up through the soil once again~<>~+_=?
About this poem
Reminiscent of Henry Miller’s thoughts on the energy of atmospheric life he felt walking the streets of Paris and France while writing Black Spring.
