You frequently say that I am like a goldmine to you..


The mining

Come drill
your shafts
burrow
extract
exhume
and plunder

but please
leave some
supporting
some dividing
inner walls

I don't want
to implode
before
you have
done a landfill
in my hollows
and shored up
my vulnerable
outside

when you
have extracted
all you want
I still need
something
to be me

even if it's
all of you
