• Eat the EARTH
    Eat it for today!
    Ground it up into bite-sized bits,
    Feel the texture give way.
    Their tasty-honest wits
    Will surely fall prey.

    Eat the EARTH
    Eat it for yourself,
    And claim it as your own.
    Make it a little part or you,
    Engulf it with a moan.

    Eat the EARTH
    Eat it at your leisure
    Beneath the apple trees.
    Ruin it with spices,
    Or dice it up with ease.

    Eat the EARTH
    Eat it for tomorrow,
    So as the next sprout
    May have a legacy to follow.
    Let the seeds know their future,
    So that the soil may swallow,
    As you did, the EARTH.
