Will you dig beneath the mound?
Will you dare to enter down?
Will you dance upon our soil?
Pour a little of our oil?
Will you eat the golden fruit?
Will you pluck it from its root?
Will you join us in our game?
Will you tell us now your name?

What an intriguing poem! So many questions – delivered with energy – that seem almost childlike in their force and focus, yet there is something darkly threatening here, too. A really powerful piece of writing.
