On Low Ground, Lower Ground

On Low Ground, Lower Ground
I have been looking at the low ground

the lowest ground, ever

the low ground under the city

the buildings

and the smoke from the kitchen chimneys

seeking a residence on low ground
I have been looking at the low ground

the lowest ground, ever

the low ground under the sunlight

the soil

and the seeds

seeking fruit on low ground...
