digz

we could be looking

for a long time

in the dirt

in the other dirt

we felt cold hands

we felt cold rocks

but we don't feel as cold

as far away from something good

covering over tall and sharp

as if

something

we might climb

to destroy 

but in protecting ourselves

extensions of hands

extension of our own 

under fingernail

under cement patch

we can't lift

we didn't really want to

probably

the crackling of

hurt my teeth

with shovel

shoved 

she stopped to drag

that

i will bring you things

if you need to be there

until you need to do something else

sunrise was a long time ago
