We asked my grandfather what kind of animal
was creating these holes on the edge of the yard
fraying as if what little world we owned
was slowly coming undone
“These aren’t animals,” he said
when he saw what we were worried about,
“the earth is settling.”
And he put his entire arm down one hole
to prove himself right with mind and hand.
He knew how to get results.
