A Quadrille prompt this week at dVerse Poets, “Let’s get digging”, comes from Punam who asks that we use the word “dig” or some form of it or the D – I – G in other words (like digital for example) in the Quadrille, which is a 44 word dVerse Poets poem, not including the title, that includes a prompted word.

Digging to China
Tried digging to China
see if I would emerge upside down
become different,
new
.
I dug
past waiting worms
bones of my undead ghosts
a rusted lunch box rattling with childhood
foundations on foundations
a Chinese man digging the other way
.
We nodded,
understood
