The ground was once a laughing place...From the mind of a dark folklorist comes a chilling modern myth. Breaking Ground is a cycle of six poems that tells a story older than time—the slow, creeping transformation of a vibrant, joyful world into a cold, mechanical one. A phantom takes its toll, a garden becomes a factory, and a mirror shows a truth that isn't there. Yet, in the silent, dark heart of it all, a single seed remembers the sun.This is a story of how a system takes hold, but more so, it is a testament to the unyielding power of life and the quiet rebellion of the soul.
