their
calloused
fingers
through
packing
it
into
the
terracotta
pots
their
lives
were
pushing
seeds
as
deep

half

thumb
and
covering
them
with
comforting
darkness

when
water
whispers
her
secret
of
the
ages,
they
watch
the
eternal
magic
break
the
surface

what

.
what
we
are
is
what
we
give

what
we
