On Low Ground, Lower Ground
I have been looking at the low ground
the lowest ground, ever
the low ground under the city
the buildings
and the smoke from the kitchen chimneys
seeking a residence on low ground
I have been looking at the low ground
the lowest ground, ever
the low ground under the sunlight
the soil
and the seeds
seeking fruit on low ground...
