302

I keep digging in the dirt

that’s what what love is, I was told,

digging in the dirt 

to find what you think you lost. 

That’s okay with me. 

It’s too loud by the pool

and I’m trying to work

trying to dig up what I 

know I lost, what I was

told I lost. 

So if my head dips 

if my fingernails come back black

well I guess it worked 

for once

for a little while.
