You think you can excavate me.
You think you can excavate me,
pull my bones out of the dirt
and scrub them gleaming white

to string together
into some fancy history?

Well.

Let me tell you, friend:
my geography
is a seismic nightmare.

Today’s swamp
is tomorrow’s mountains,
and you will never
conquer this land.
