292–Is There Some Love Here?

have i become an urban

suburbanite wrestling with

the land no enjoyment i

seek to conquer the hill

with no soil on it water

the hell out of the drought

abandoned mounds of

land surrounded by

concrete and running

the water straight to

the ocean down the drain

or am i here to give something?

is there some love in the

lasagna mulch i pile

onto the hill out front

or plant the willy nilly

permaculture wildness

i want to stand here

in the unfamiliar world

want to be here now

with you looking with

love at this asphalt jungle
