Tilt


This ground is too hard to break, it ruined a pick and spade, frozen and 
solid as rock, my hands numb with the shock! I am prepared for the dirty 
work, I've groveled for years in the bloody dirt, I have all the tools 
that I need, and now I admit my defeat! What will it take to cleave this 
earth? Break this ground, it's got to break! What will it take to cleave 
this earth? I cannot wait 'til spring. My cargo is still half alive, 
they twine 'round eachother and cry, they beg me to finish the task, 
will I inter them at last? I glare at the place I'd make a grave, I 
carry the shame it would contain, thinking cannot rend a hole, too tired 
to stave off the cold.
