Hard scrabble

speak the ground

top down

unsour the soil

remind yourself  an aching bone

it does not strictly count as toil

for somewhere on the sea

a current brings

 a boat of hope    shows no timber

is beyond repair     

dig    speak  abounding

pain speak it under     down to

where capacity

is endless

dig the cemetery    bury

 all the things you know

get them dirty
