The Bargain

Generally, I am on
the Clean Side; but,
garden soil is my
rich exception -- 

I wallow in it,
a piggy for the scent
and feel -- 

Sort of like, training

are for sissies,

glove-less, I dip and
knead; saturate and 
soak. Claw! Compact!
Sniff the compost, 
deeply investing with
bacteria: praising, composing
a reverent hymn, How gloriously
Efficient Is Nature!~ our
Mother recycling, wasting
nothing, reusing all,
earth gripping back my hand,

a bargain seal of the grave --
