Dug

how murderous one behaves
to become a refined digger of graves
knowing what earth to sink the spade
slicing through worms the metal blade

and what time to do the dig
when midnight wears its darkest wig
what depth to make the soiled bed
how to place the feet and tilt the head

then what lies to lay upon the hole
devouring the proof and bits of soul
to sweep the crime beneath the rug
this the reason the grave is dug
