born with earth in your hand

by Carissa Dewey

Today you are
a gardener-
You were born
with earth in your hand
you
you are a gardener
you own an understanding
and it owns you.

and I can’t blame you-
your understanding
and how the scent of
dark deep earth thrives inside
of you

but sometimes
I lay naked
and we love naked
here in this small town,
we must think we belong together.
how can I tell
when you stay quiet
and I am yearning to be born?
