Digger - Great Grandpa, Mike Vernon Davis

Digger, you’re no superstar

Purpose on the arm

But family in the heart

Digger, fighting with the cards

Patterns in the noise

And questions that are hard

A rock in retrograde

Says endure pain today

All things must evolve or fade

The tarot cards made me laugh

A guardian on the path

Hard to dream like i need to

Subtlety as a way through

Digger, digging til he starves

Slipped away from silent

Rest and carved the arm

Digger, fighting with the art

Hand off fate to chaos

Something to outsmart

That’s why I hate you (digger that’s enough)

You’re in my dreaming space

Erase these quivering weights

And replace with aphantasia’s grace

All thoughts filter down

To voices in the crowd

Shaming for unspoken days

Violence in the things they whisper

Then the sound gets louder

Digger, always in the game

Never was a game

And answers always hang

Digger, find another way

Arrows 'round the body

Sleep and dream in grey

That’s why I love you

Shouldn’t go out in the darkness

Should have gone out in the dark
