the only place.


crystal keen to begin this thing,
over ready
over ripe
to start
instead of skirting the edges.
the only place that digging gets you
is down.

so we leave it to fortune
and hide under covers
no one is keen to reveal,
especially not in bitter mid winter,
the heartbeat that shows
who we truly are
what we truly want
because to do that, well
the only place that digging gets you
is down.

you try to move the goal posts
spinning words like
yesterday's pop songs
that I nearly fall for
again but don't.
it is better to dance nasty
than to dig deep
and the only place that digging gets you
is down.
