Gut of the Earth
by Stacy Dermont

The time has come to beat
my sword into a plowshare,
though I have no sword
I have only
two hands and sweat,
head and heart
to guide.

My heart is not
a pump. It is
moved by blood.
Small parts
govern the large.

Furrowing the soil
with bare hands,
moisture pulls
from my skin.
Excreta to excreta.

I am forced to give
as I take.
I am forced.
I am force.
I force.
I am.

At the seed exchange,
everyone gives away
embryos and endosperms,
seed coats of many colors.

I am clothed in home
for the first time.
Since before birth.
A seed remembers.
