Déguenillé (Ragged)


cold day
hard hands
soft heart
ragged

standing in a field of mist
leaning on a shovel to inscribe my brief existence on this eternal mud
I wipe the streaming silence from my eye
beneath a rosy fingered sky
then I carry on digging

thud

one day I will be finished

no need to ask who the hole is for
or if it is sunrise or sunset
