This is our soil our mother earth
the things beneath us that feed us
its built from remnants of decaying plants
remanants of our bodies
our bodies rotting
which we must eat
we must take it in
we must absorb it through our skin
take them up through our roots, build them high to the temples of our skin
tall in these vast forests made from mangroves
our dead bones of history
these great brown castles
the stalagmites of life
this is soil
this is our bodies
elements of the earth
its crystal grit beneath our feet
it’s built from remnants of decaying plants
remnants which we must eat
we must take it in
we must absorb it through our skin
this is our soil our mother earth
the things beneath us that feed us
its built from remnants of decaying plants
remanants of our bodies
our bodies rotting
which we must eat
we must take it in
we must absorb it through our skin
take them up through our roots, build them high to the temples of our skin
tall in these vast forests made from mangroves
our dead bones of history
these great brown castles
the stalagmites of life
this is soil
this is our bodies
elements of the earth
its crystal grit beneath our feet
it’s built from remnants of decaying plants
remnants which we must eat
we must take it in
we must absorb it through our skin.
