We the Earthworms

We are unseen, anonymous, everywhere and always, toiling and praying.

We give heated oxygen to smothered discussions, shine life into neglected clay.

We hug the darkest corners of the blackest tilth, expand our minds, recoil in pain.

We occupy the fissures of fleeting structures, feel them swell and let them wane.

We dig deep, soothe empty insides with ancient bounties of collective roots.

We occupy ourselves, till up dormant thoughts, germinate the seeds of truth.
