caementum -i n. [rough stone from the quarry].

We're harvesting rock.

A gem here and there
Digging deeper only after the soil is wet down.

Conduct your scraping and scratching
Move aside or smash together the rubble
Form and shape it
Track and tape it

Earth is heavy but floats
Carry it in your mind.
The weight and levity
Become your own
feet on the floor and eyes to everything.

Dump the weight once engrained and fire away.
