Let us not rise from the earth too soon.
Let us stretch upon the ground.
Let is bear witness to the soil.
Soil that dark, infernal, moldering, bewildering, aquatically capacious,
partially aerated, partially living, stubbornly inorganic, endlessly textured,
complexly aggregating, fractally creviced, indigestible, host to the dead,
cradle to decomposing things, suffocatrix of life and yet, for all of this, ultimately sustainer of life.
