We Dug A Hole - Kathryn Williams

You said

Clichés come from the truth

Of beauty that every one feels they can own

Is then truth

Being rubbed out or watered down

We dug a hole

To keep everyone out of view

We dug a hole

Hoped it was big enough

The water was like creased old leather

Lit by a bare bulb

And we talked about the swirly island waters

They dug a hole

To keep everyone out of view

They dug a hole

Late into the night

Through dried up popcorn and sticky carpets

Words danced upwards

To tired out lyrics

They dug a hole

To keep everything out of view

They dug a hole

Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)

Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)

Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)
