DIG  DEEP  INTO  ANYWHERE

To read, to know, the history

of the place where we come from,

one has to dig deep into the

soil of the place we’re looking at.

Our shovel, our mind, our eyes will

hit blood and rock and injustice.

Little will be written, if anything. That’s

the stuff written of kings and the rich.

Yet, our roots, our stories, our tears, can

still be  found in  soggy dirt with bogged

down pieces of skull. Our ancestors were

here and praise God, we can dig here. Amen
