De Kooning's Sieve

Went down to the excavation this morning
Watched the clearing with little light
By feel, they said, and they meant that
Blow the top, see the steam, pour and lift it
And we thanked them long after the fact
By feel, they said, and they meant that

Every swing and every set, they keep on
They keep coming back
Not for us, but for the others
What was gained was on the great scale
What was gained was on the great scale

Dig in now, hack and grin and bare it all
They can tell when you've left it less than raw
And they meant it
They can see from within it
And they keep coming back

Every swing and every set, they keep on
They keep coming back
It's not for us, they said, it's for the others
What was gained was on the great scale
What was gained was on the great scale

They said they feel it in the work
Feel the most when there's no light
It's alright in doses
Said "It's worth more to us as dirt"
They said, "We choose it, the excavation"

By feel, they said
They keep coming back
By feel, they said
They keep coming back
By feel, they said
