Digging a HoleDigging beneath dappled shade, And a chorus of applauding trees. Crunch. A sharp-spade chewing sound,Digging a Hole
Metal hum like plucked wire.
Aching back, muddy smears, And not a blister; just A certain hardness of the skin, Cracking like a gourd Across the wrinkles of my thumb.
Why were you digging a hole? She asked me, afterwards.

The flower said I wish I was a tree, the tree said I wish I could be a different type of tree, the cat wished it was a bee
