DIG


Shovel a handful earth over me
by the cut of your hand,
as I know not the working of my grave;
the moment I die 
it hitches a dig on me 

Paint a sky over my head 
by the brush of blue blood,
as I know not the colour of heaven;
the moment I dab an empty canvas
silence press on me  

Take my heart round a trip 
listless I stand caged inside 
as I know not the flutter of the wings;
the moment I peep from the nest 
dark night prey on me
