loose dirt

         growth, taking root right beneath the earth's surface
beauty isn't born of hard ground and firm soil
  and flowers make their bed in dirt that's been tossed and turned over
                                                  disrupted,
                                            disheveled,
                    where the foundation is being undone. 
seeds need loose dirt,
   dripped and drenched with water,
                              muddied,
                           unstable
what we really need is to be shaken.


here is where the growing begins.
