42

will somebody please dig me a hole?
i'm not strong enough to dig my own,
but i really need one to crawl in
to watch the clouds rotate.


i won't mind the earth scratching my body,
won't care if worms creep into my nose, and nest in my lungs.

at midnight i'll freeze in my sleep.
dream of wide beaches with white sand,
mountains with deep valleys,
oceans big enough to swallow ten thousand villagers alive.

in this hole you'll dig me,
in this house you'll build me,
in these eyes you'll give me,
i swear to fucking god,
i'll swallow the sun.
