Dig a hole, down deep into the earth.
Feel damp soil, moist against your skin.
The dry dirt embedded beneath nails.
Silver glint, shovel raised high into sun.

Dig a hole, deeper wider into the dark.
Feel satisfaction as sweat beads fall.
The dry dirt runs with glistening drops.
Silver glint, shovel moves rhythmically.

Dig a hole, plunge into earth's bowels.
Feel the world shift below under you.
The dry dirt flying away with winds.
Silver glint, shovel cast aside in grass.

Dig a hole, fill it with painful memories.
Feel the relief as they're hidden away.
The dry dirt masking the old sorrows.
Silver glint, shovel falls bury them all.
... Yourself within a tomb of memories.

100 theme challenge - 11 - memory.

'cause we all need somewhere to hide the memories we wish we could forget.
