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
