The mole goes down the slow dark personal passage—
a haberdasher's sample of wet velvet moving
on fine feet through an earth that only
the gardener and the excavator know.
The mole is a specialist and truly
opens his own doors; digs as he needs them
his tubular alleyways; and all his hills
are mountains left behind him.
