Forgive Me, Earth

Confess
to the faded red paint on a crushed tin bucket
or the split in an oak's trunk.
The cool soil beneath you
is as copious an altar
as it is dubious.
Say it
out loud.
Surely, you will hear
your-
self.

Some things we do, some things are out of our control. Either way, we all should pay attention. Very visual write.
