of soil or sand & file away
the hole subsurface dead
a concern transcends
borrow pits & young excavations
of artificial ground & ditch

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
