the planting

 the planting


words

transplanted as seedlings

to see what grows

cotyledons

now there’s a nice word to open with

and taproot such a deep thought

rhizome an anthology 

for the spreading of the

word


manure another word

where the doggerels roll

smells a bit

but not all words are clean

in the winnowing 

husk upon the breeze

kernels to the mills of mind

papyrus 

now there’s an old word

a beginning to end with

a harvest in seed
