Come, Shovel

Come, shovel splinter my hands let me feel even an iota of pain for I am forever in denial it seems Come, shovel let my bare foot push you deeper until I bleed so I can face this reality in front of me dig dig dig ...ditch and dish out all that dirt make that hole big big big ...breach and break out all that brine, all that whine then let me fall deep deep deep d e e p eep. Come, shovel bury me whole, cover me in peace Let, me, be, number, let, me, escape, in mindless slumber. even just for two days. 41920161208a23: Come, Shovel
