Digging deep,
Is like real hard work,
Pulling pulleys,
Makes palms calloused and hard as a rock.
Digging deep,
Down! Down! Into wells so deep,
Countless bores expended,
To make one hole, then get it expanded.
Digging deep,
Down! Down! Till a ‘hit’ is scored,
Up !up! Slowly pull to the tip,
Rest, no molten fluid poured.
Digging deep,
Is no mean business, at depths best imagined;
Oil well, well bored and cured
Waits anxiously, tremblingly;
As the next bore approaches its core.
another recurring theme.
Well, nice all the same.
se eeee?
That’s the way it is baby….
Hm.
Okay. Nice. Good. No Comment.
Na wa for you o Shai…..my lips are sealed!
hmm…sounds like an exposition on the sexual-business activity of a prostitute. She lies there rendering service as ‘clients’ dig into her ‘hole’ or ‘Oil well’.
Of course ‘molten fluid’ (molten from the heat of the passion) is not ‘poured’ because a condom is involved!
I Thank you @Afronuts…u understood the concept better than I did.
By the way @All, it is what it is. But like many of the pieces I have put here, there are deeper underlying meanings other than the most obvious.
That to me is the beauty of poetry; We all learn from each other.
Hmm…

Oil well, well bored and cured
Waits anxiously, tremblingly;
As the next bore approaches its core.
Weeeeeeeeelllllllllll, lwkmd.
Y u come pick those lines?
why do you think i did?
Either of two things: because of the stark reality of it, which is what it is ( Won’t expatiate that). Or, you reflect on the harrowing experience of what might be like for a nymphomaniac (is it a disease or more of a psychological situation).
Ofcourse, there are more reasons u might av emphasised those specific lines, but I find none more appealing in view of previous comments made.
