After Seamus Heaney’s “Digging” and Adrienne Rich’s “Diving into the Wreck”
heavy the solid structure
of soil or sand & file away
the hole subsurface dead
a concern transcends
borrow pits & young excavations
of artificial ground & ditch
lakes support a parking scapula
aided by shovels & reasons
to engage in non-rippables
get backhoe free loaders
picking projects and utilize
percussion hammers in the home
quarrying is boring
a drill a rig a test by mapping
the hazards of an inside person
dump the combination
of excessive pressure
when working wells within
here they come drawn
up by a pump at much greater
depths causing several areas
to revert to swamp & bark
damage released women
searching new caves bare
& clawed with explosive
antiques as brute charge
is never enough
