#1238 - they decided to dig up the whole town

 





1238

23.v.23

4.143

they decided to dig up the whole town

 

someone must have been elected, appointed

had to have thought of it

 

roads and pavements, sewer mains, all the supplies

every street, the roads out of town

 

graveyards! the dead went free…

many of the dead joined in digging

 

no one could remember what they were looking for

there was a kind of stubbornness

characteristic, some might have said

 

hi-vis vests and ten o-clock shadows

they dig as they shout as they

have their own language for this

 

and they dug in the shade

dug in the sun

 

how the machinery roars!

and rusting down through generations

 

when they finished with the town

they started digging up mountains

they had to take out the forest first

 

soon they will start on the sky
