The above audio link is the best I could do via telephone. I'll give it one thing: it's a fast download & listen.

Prefer THIS bluegrass rendition of Compost.

COMPOST
_________________________________________
For all the vegetables,
the compost scarcely grows
but settles implacably toward usefulness.

Egg shells.
Bean ends.
Tomato unbilicus & navel.
Apple skin & core.
The odd, bad berry.

Rain compresses.

See how dirt becomes;
how much is consumed,
and how what was taken is returned:

a progress of wealth that grows
from one generation to the next.
