There is a deep
A deep blue in my soul
It’s almost black
And sticky like a resin
It’s in the cavity behind my ribcage
And in the organs of my belly
This sap
This resin
Cries often
Tears of tar
From years of war
Years of fracking
this polluted landscape
Within in me is a mine
An empty mine
No coal
No diamonds
No oil
Just a deep
A deep blue
