Conjectures

After researching the meaning of title I thought  it might talk about something that needs to be sustained or  sustains something. For example a friends that sustains you in difficult situation.  But a scaffolding might sometimes hide something. Like a mask that some people make to hide the truth.   

 

Digging

 

Digging: the act of digging; "there's an interesting excavation going on near Princeton”

act; human action; human activity

activity

creation; creative activity

creating by removal

excavation, digging, dig

 

I think that the poem is about a difficult situation of a worker, about his or her work, the dunger of the work.

Or maybe the difficult situation  of a family. The poem for me talk about a real life of e man or a woman and his or her problem at the work or in the family…. The writer maybe is a man. And the poem is writing recently.

 

Se questo è un uomo

This seems a title of a poem that speaks about the human condition in a very difficult situation like war. This poem might also speak about very poor people who are ignored by others. The poem might set during some war during the last century or in some poor state where living is very difficult. The poem might be the story of a man who has lived very difficult and complicated situations including humiliations of his dignity or something like that. It seems clear that this title implies a very negative meaning.
