The Dying Wall (revised)

The ground vomits up the wall
In a green, gray, brown mass of stone, moss and dirt,
Spewing forth a line of boulders
With some rocks scattered to either side.

Twenty feet later, the dilapidated wall
Falls back into the earth which first belched it up.
The soil swallows it back under and
Digests it into pebbles, then sand, then dirt.

Long ago the wall kept captive herds,
But now it only serves to support the moss
Which drags it down, down into the ground
While the earth thoughtfully gobbles it up.
