knead
cultivate: worship, till,
pray for hands steady
enough to hold the bread
to break among companions
who receive it, who eat,
cultivate, worship, till
the Earth between storms,
when it receives the plough
as God receives the prayer,
willing but waterlogged,
turning up blood, roots, stone:
communing with the mud of us.

I love that cultivation is prayer
And the subtle reference to Bloodroot maybe, and all in all the spirituality uniting with physicality in the mud
