Abstract: Can the soil speak? In an attempt to respond to this question, this article discusses a political and practical horizon that intends to transform relationships within the living soil. It presents a renewed method for photographing the soil: chromatography. Besides producing detailed descriptions of our own chromatograms, we also venture into an aesthetic reading of them. The result is a series of poems that might make explicit another layer of the voice of the soil.

Keywords: soil, chromatography, poetry, agriculture.
