living on the hill 
you are digging our final home 
deep or shallow 
you have a good eye for 
your shovel is red with rust 
and your hands are grazed to the bone 
the stamp of the digging done 
can rain wash away your beds of sorrow 
can rain wash away your crusted skin 
but who will dig a whole for you 
will the punished ground swallow you 
when you die 
dragging your muddy shadow 
have man debt to you 
in the ground of rocks 
a golden rose will grow 
your smile is empty 
and your blood is cold 
colder than the bottom of a hole
