DIRT AND DEPRESSION

I sleep in the dirt

My head always above mud level

this is what I have created for myself

A nice sized hole in the earth

I work hard to keep this dug

Worms are friends

Decay is the scent

A Groundhog is my Mailman

and this is what I have created for myself.

WHAT'S KEEPING YOU?

They all crawl


towards the same door


feeling


beating


breathing the floor beneath


their sick


tired


pale bodies.





I tell them all I'm sorry.
