muteness

political stammering
elaborated with fantasy's facts

a belief
within beliefs

verbosity makes you

gives you
a critical viewpoint that never is

whatever grew

in the garden this year
got cut shorter today;

then I broadcasted a wild mixture of clovers
and perennial wild flower seeds
into this mess...

then I spread out over this
more straw, not much, from last year's bales

leaves are already coming down,
so I started raking up leaves
and those too
were mixed into and covered by straw

AAAh..the aroma coming from the humus...
soil is developing...

and yes, we had some rain overnight...
lots of rainworms !

all this tells me
next year will see some fine vegetable growing...

from some corner in the garden
I heard the frog!

all this is, will be, no-till forever...

every day, I'll rake up falling leaves
and mix them into the rotten straw...

I mixed in above seed mixture
some corn salad seeds...

my "wild" garden entirely overseeded with last year's seeds
and clovers is home to a frog,
NORTHERN LEOPARD FROG,
