you probe deeper into the earth
- not to find silver coins or black jewels -
but to find my skeletons, my bones
and it's hinges, it's sponges, it's cavities
which hold my past in it's hollowness.

and because the earth is asset to none,
you may yet uncover the bones of your arms,
with those very wretched arms of yours.

(why for do you dig for ours,
when you'll only find your skulls?)
