The Hole (1) & The Hole (2)
by Emily Dening
[ poetry - january 06 ]
The Hole (1)
can
hold a tree
a flower
a seed
home moles
a rabbit
badgers
another rabbit
worms
more rabbits
hoard flints
beer bottles
doubloons
last year's clothes
a terracotta army
huddle soft brown earth
wait.
The Hole (2)
You can darn it
stick it
patch it
You can hop it
skip it
leap it
You can stuff it
strip it
seal it
Or keep digging.
