I’m not moving – v2

“I don’t know about you,

but I’m good

I’m not moving;

my feet are hurting…

and I am tired.”

Was this the dialogue

her bold statement

between a wife and husband -

the birth of farming

many thousand years ago?

Was it just because someone

liked the view before them

the place seemed good to them

they were tired

and their feet hurt too?

Dropping the seeds

in the bags they carried

into verdant soil

the Fertile Crescent

ablaze with grains of life.
