This Land

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

This dirt

fragments
of the ancients 

The fathers
& brothers
turning its weathered
surface
to glean
nourishment
hidden within 

Planting
seeds and praying
for rain  

The inheritance  

only tears

soaking into
the land

  4. Such a deep and emotional poem. I really love it. It reminds of a phrase I once used in one of my poems “And all this feels more like whimper”. Great work, keep on writing ❤
