Regenerative Agriculture

a poem and a film rec

Hello, dear friend of the interwebs! In honor of the documentary Kiss the Ground’s sequel release, Common Ground, I’d like to share a poem I wrote with you. A poem about Regenerative Agriculture. If the title and sentiment of the poem are new to you, I highly recommend watching the documentary Kiss the Ground, which you can peep on Netflix. If you’re an educator, the website also kindly offers a free 45-minute cut for educational use!

Regenerative Agriculture (is the answer)

Mono
	Solo
		the grain grows

lighting up like gold
in the eyes of a short-lived man 
with long-dead virtue

Year
	after
		year 
                                 the crops beg for
difference / yearn for reverence

	listen

                         sings their swan song

         as the soil
	
                becomes dirt

If you’re a local to San Marcos, TX, you can find me this Saturday at Wake the Dead for the open poetry mic. Peep all my upcoming appearances here.

A hui ho,

Julia
