Today's found poem comes from the New York Times article One of the World’s Oldest Science Experiments Comes Up From the Dirt, written by Cara Giaimo.
Up From the Dirt
under cover of darkness, waiting
a botanist’s version of buried treasure
constellation of sleeping seeds
biding their time
hiding out in the soil
seed and soil
sown and watered
expect tender green shoots
