Again watching Angie – digging allotment
The harvest is over
The spade digs deep
Into gods earth
Back hunched
Hands gripping
The stainless blade
Twists and turns
Automatic and unflinching
The progress unstoppable
The human effort
Denies the soil from peace
Worms scurry
Weeds scream
Let me live
Another summer over
No time to rest
The real graft starts
Allotment makeover
Begins
The harvest is over
The human effort
Denies the soil from peace
Worms scurry
Weeds scream
Let me live
Another summer over
No time to rest
The real graft starts
Allotment makeover
Begins
The real graft starts
Allotment makeover

The harvest is over
The spade digs deep
Into gods earth
Back hunched
Hands gripping
The stainless blade
Twists and turns
Automatic and unflinching
The progress unstoppable
The human effort
Denies the soil from peace
Worms scurry
Weeds scream
Let me live
Another summer over
No time to rest
The real graft starts
Allotment makeover

No time to rest
The real graft starts
Allotment makeover
