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

Nicely written. Loved the climax in the last two lines where you found your Chinese doppelganger!
By the way, I write poems and scribble about life’s quiet truths. Do check out my blog and subscribe if you like it.
Keep writing!

Thank so much Paul and no we’re not so far removed at all. Sometimes there’s just change, feeling a need of such, and one man’s boring normal might just be another man’s change.
