Cavate
Burrowing into layers time has lain, and through processes so slow in passage I dare not to disturb what sleeps within.
For who am I to drill, shake, awaken, un-Earth, unleashing boundless energy.
So I tread quietly.
Covering tracks with mud-dust. Only to be discovered, un-covered, once more.
