Dig a Hole
Dig a hole
and throw him in.
Make it deep
so the dogs won't
excavate.
They miss him so.
This hill country
makes a damnable dig,
all stones and hard pan clay.
Don't come to Missouri
if you're looking for a rock fight
or a job as a gravedigger.
Rest me in a hill
put my head to the upslope,
let me gawk at the water
forever.
