A Dirt Poem: by Jessica Veenstra
Pedogenesis:
genesis of peds
aggregate agglomeration
dispersed individuals
begin
to cohere
become sticky
form structure
shape
and excessively moderately hard rupture resistance
with time
and a little weathering
the particles become one
sharing space, energy,
love, & laughter
(plus reallly good food!)
