Dyke

A long narrow hollow dug out from the ground, used in ancient times to denote boundaries, the reaches of a regime.  Used to separate dignitaries in castles from peasants in their kingdoms.  Used to separate, to protect from otherness.  The hollow may be built to resist encroachments from the sea. To protect us from nature.  The hollow may be used to hold. Sometimes water needs to be held for irrigation, to keep the plants from dying off.  To keep us from dying off.  Sometimes what is held is urine, not water.  See slang for urinal.  Sometimes the hollow is the small of her back where your hand likes to rest, gentle cavern, gentle touch.  Sometimes the hollow is the place you reach for deep inside of her at night.  Her hollowness, her cavern will separate you out as the other. It will not protect you from encroachment.
