Its the Little Things

Making the world
using it all in a
transforming dance of life.

First to appear
in the primeval soup
they grew to

fungus connectors,
glue sticking us all
in a criculating web.

Microbes that chop up remains
then bear new things again.
I am a wheatfield becoming.

Regenerating burned forests
and the flood plains
or feeding the ocean

five thousand species in a
single teaspoon of soil ...
enable my breath.
