Dirt:
Public Domain Photos Dirt: crushed ambition of mountains, loam with a résumé. It grows lunch, keeps secrets, takes them too— a reliable archivist with worms for interns. We call scandals “dirt” and gardens “soil,” as if vocabulary could launder origins. Dig under every story, a little grit insists. ----- This Quadrille (44 word poem) shared with those digging dogs over at DVerse Poets Pub. ©2026 Christopher Reilley ----- I would love to know what you thought about this piece.
