Crawling
Through the Dirt



Crawling Through the Dirt
Awe

Domenica Martinello

Pull the static by its wire
The sound of emptiness is crisp
Ruffling leaves, blowing dust, a lone bird...
With contempt you realize
You can hear the ocean’s tides
Roaring up from the depths of the earth through the iron barred sewer.

Only navigating around life
Like hamster in a wheel
Spinning ‘round
And ‘round and ‘round, getting worn down
Traveling through a fixed patch of scenery.

Such intricate organisms
Wandering towards a simple existence
Push out a piece
Crumbling without a witness
Humanity scurrying back to their dim-witted caves
To tune back into the static.
